Courtesy of Eurobasket LLC Here is the weekly review of the top performing Golden Lions alumni, who are currently playing in pro basketball.
#1. Kylen Milton (6'4''-G-2001, played in 2021-24, plays pro in Switzerland) led Pully to a victory over the closely-ranked Nyon (3-5) 90-77 in the Swiss SBL in Saturday night's game. He was MVP of the game. Milton scored 36 points (!!!) and added 5 assists in 40 minutes; quite an impressive performance considering it's only his first season in pro basketball. Pully Lausanne Foxes (2-5) are placed sixth in the SBL. But this is still an early stage of the season and everything may happen. Milton has individually a very good year with high stats. He averages 22.3ppg, 5.3rpg, 3.6apg and 1.8spg in eight games he played so far.
#2. Rashad Williams (6'2''-G-2000, played in 2022-24, plays in Qatar) could not help Al Gharafa (1-0) in their last game on Saturday. Despite his very good performance the league leader Al Gharafa was defeated 95-84 in a derby game by the leading Al Arabi. Williams was the top scorer with 30 points. He also added 4 assists. There are only four games left until the end of the Regular Season. So now every game will be critical. This season Williams has very high stats. He averages 29.0ppg, 4.3rpg, 2.5apg and 1.8spg.
#3. Trey Sampson (6'9''-F/C-2000, played in 2021-22, currently in Romania) contributed to a Targu Mures' victory against the 14th-ranked Galati (0-7) 89-76 in the Romanian Liga Nationala on Saturday night. He scored 9 points in 17 minutes. CS Municipal Targu Mures (5-3) is placed sixth in the Liga Nationala. It was his team's third consecutive victory in a row. It's Sampson's first season with the team. This year Sampson averages 6.0ppg, 2.8rpg and 1.2apg in six games.
#4. Shaun Doss (6'5''-G-1999, played in 2023-23, plays pro in Hungary) was not able to help one of league's weakest teams OSE Lions (3-5) in their last game on Saturday. Despite Doss' good performance OSE Lions was defeated 86-79 on the road by the higher-ranked Kaposvari (#10). He scored 13 points. But the season just started, so everything may happen. It's Doss' first year with the team. This season Doss has very high stats. He averages 17.6ppg, 3.6rpg, 1.7apg and 1.1spg.
