#2. Danya Kingsby (6'1''-G-1998, played in 2021-22, plays in Georgia) led Delta to a 2-point victory against the closely-ranked Iverioni (11-9) 94-92 in the Georgian Superleague last Monday. Kingsby scored 18 points, grabbed 7 rebounds and dished 6 assists; not bad, considering it's only his third season in pro basketball. Delta Gurjaani (9-11) is placed seventh in the Superleague. The Regular Season already ended. It's Kingsby's first year with the team. Kingsby has relatively good stats this season 13.8ppg, 3.4rpg, 3.5apg and 1.2spg.

Moton was MVP of the game. He recorded 23 points and added 3 assists in 25 minutes. Hemel Storm (19-5) is placed first in the NBL D1. Moton has relatively good stats this year 14.9ppg, 3.8rpg, 4.2apg and 1.6spg in 25 games.
#4. Jourdan Smith (6'7''-G/F-2000, played in 2022-24, plays pro in Australia). He could not help Norwood Flames (0-3) to beat Bearcats (2-1) in the Australian NBL One (second division). Smith's contribution was not very remarkable in Friday's game. He scored only 2 points. The ninth-placed Norwood Flames (0-3) were badly defeated83-66 on the road by the higher-ranked Bearcats (#4) in the Central group. So far Norwood Flames lost all three games in the Regular Season.
