Courtesy of Eurobasket LLC Every week we bring you a list of the top former Broncos players who continue their career in pro basketball.
#1. Jimmie Taylor (6'4''-G-1994, played in 2013-17, plays pro in Luxembourg) led T71 to a victory over one of league's weakest teams Mamer (2-6) 94-84 in the Luxembourg LBBL on Saturday night. Taylor was MVP of the game. He scored 36 points (!!!), grabbed 9 rebounds and dished 5 assists in 33 minutes. T71 Dudelange (6-0) is placed first in the LBBL. So far his team won all six games in the Regular Season. Taylor has individually a very good season with high stats. He averages 19.9ppg, 6.3rpg, 3.6apg and 1.5spg. He is a former Eurobasket Summer League player, which is considered top summer league for players who want to play basketball overseas.
#2. Anthony Durham (6'3''-SG-1994, played in 2014-19, plays in France) contributed to an easy victory against one of league's weakest teams ALM Evreux (2-8) crushing them 107-87 in the French ProB (second division) in Friday night's game. He recorded 12 points and added 4 passes. Chorale Roanne Basket (7-3) is placed sixth in the ProB. But this is still an early stage of the season and everything may happen. Durham has relatively good stats this year 13.5ppg, 2.8rpg and 2.4apg in 10 games he played so far.

Allen Powell Ill (6'2''-G, played in 2019-24, currently in Kosovo) was the main contributor in Prizreni's victory against one of league's weakest teams Gjakova (1-3) crushing them 95-57 in the Kosovan Liga e pare (second division) last Thursday. Powell Ill was MVP of the game. He recorded 35 points (!!!) and grabbed 5 rebounds in 37 minutes; quite an impressive performance considering it's only Powell Ill's second season in pro basketball. Proton Cable Prizreni (3-0) is placed first in the Liga e pare. So far his team won all three games in the Regular Season. But the season just started, so everything may happen. This year Powell Ill has very high stats. He averages 29.7ppg, 2.7rpg, 3.7apg and 4.0spg.
#4. Ajiri Ogemuno-Johnson (6'8''-F-1999, played in 2018-23, plays pro in Estonia). He could not help Parnu (1-5) to beat Valmiera Glass (7-0) in the Lat-Est BL. Ogemuno-Johnson's contribution was not very remarkable in Saturday's game. He scored only 2 points and grabbed 6 rebounds. Parnu was badly defeated78-62 at home by the second-ranked Valmiera Glass. It was Parnu's fourth consecutive loss in a row. But the season is still in its first stage and everything can happen. This year Ogemuno-Johnson averages 5.2ppg and 3.8rpg in five games.
