Here is the weekly review of the top performing Lumberjacks alumni, who are currently playing in pro basketball.


   #1. Cameron Jones (6'4''-G-89, graduated '11, plays pro in Finland) was the major contributor in Kauhajoki's victory against the closely-ranked KTP-Basket (23-20) 101-90 in the Finnish Korisliiga in Saturday night's game. Jones scored 22 points and added 9 passes in 34 minutes. Karhu Kauhajoki (31-12) is placed second in the Korisliiga. It was his team's third consecutive victory in a row. They will play only one more game in the Semifinals. And that game will be critical. Jones has individually a very good year with high stats. He averages 18.8ppg, 4.8rpg, 4.2apg and 1.1spg in 26 games he played so far. Worth to mention he played also at Eurobasket Summer League, which helped him get the job in pro basketball.

   #2. Malcolm Allen (6'1''-G-94, graduated '18, plays in Brazil). He could not help one of league's weakest teams Cerrado (6-8) to beat UniFacisa (8-6) in the Brazilian Liga Ouro (second division). Allen scored 7 points. Cerrado was defeated 99-76 on the road by the higher-ranked UniFacisa (#4). It was Cerrado's fifth consecutive loss in a row. This season Allen averages 6.8ppg, 3.1rpg, 1.5apg and 1.1spg.
