Courtesy of Eurobasket LLC Every week we bring you a list of the top former Explorers players who continue their career in pro basketball.
#1. Experienced champion Ramon Galloway, a 6'3'' guard who is 35 years old and graduated from La Salle in 2013, currently plays professionally in the Dominican Republic. In a recent game, he led his team, Reales de La Vega, to a 90-82 victory over the fifth-ranked Indios with an exceptional performance. Galloway was named the MVP of the game after scoring an impressive 30 points, grabbing 7 rebounds, and providing 7 assists in 37 minutes of play. Reales de La Vega, with a record of 8-9, currently holds the top spot in the Places 1-6 group. With only one more game left in the Regular Season, Galloway's upcoming performance will be crucial for his team. His outstanding display against the Indios showcased his skills and leadership on the court, solidifying his reputation as a true champion. Throughout the year, Galloway has maintained high statistics, averaging 18.0 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 3.0 assists per game in the nine games he has played so far. It is worth noting that Galloway is a naturalized American, bringing his talent and experience to the basketball scene in the Dominican Republic.
#2. Khalil Brantley, a 6'1'' point guard who is 25 years old and an alumnus of the Cowboys class of 2025, showcased his skills in the recent game for Krka. Despite his standout performance, the league-leading Krka team suffered a narrow 90-89 defeat at home against the 11th placed Cedevita Olimpija Ljubljana. Brantley contributed significantly to his team's effort by scoring 15 points, making him the second-best scorer of the game. Additionally, he displayed his playmaking abilities by recording 4 assists during his 37 minutes on the court. It is worth noting that this is Brantley's debut season in professional basketball, making his performance even more impressive. Despite Brantley's individual achievements, including scoring 15 points, grabbing 3 rebounds, and dishing out 4 assists against Cedevita Olimpija Ljubljana, his efforts were not enough to secure the victory for Krka. Nevertheless, Brantley has been maintaining solid statistics throughout the season, averaging 15.0 points, 3.5 rebounds, 3.4 assists, and 1.9 steals per game, which ranks him as the second-best in the league in steals. His consistent performance highlights his potential as a rising star in the professional basketball scene.
#3. Clifton Moore, a 6'10'' center who is 26 years old, graduated from Providence in 2023. Despite playing for La Salle between 2019 and 2022, he now competes professionally in France. Recently, Moore competed for Saint-Quentin Basket-Ball in a match against Poitiers in the French ELITE 2 league, the second division of French basketball. In this game, he showcased his skills by scoring 9 points and securing 7 rebounds in 26 minutes on the court. Despite his solid performance, his team was unable to secure a victory, falling short to Poitiers with a close score of 76-73 on the road. Poitiers, ranked #5, managed to edge out Moore's team in the Play-Out group. Throughout the season, Moore has maintained an average of 7.7 points per game and 5.7 rebounds per game across three matches. Although his team faced a tough loss against Poitiers, Moore's contributions on the court as a standout player are evident as he strives to propel his team towards success in the league.
