Marcus Georges-Hunt (6’5” – F – 1994, played in 2012-16, plays pro in Lebanon) was the major contributor in a Al Riyadi’s victory against the closely-ranked Sagesse (17-5) 92-77 in a derby game in the Lebanese LBL last Friday. He scored 20 points in 29 minutes. It was the game of the round between two top 4 ranked teams. Sporting Al Riyadi Beirut (16-2) is placed first in the LBL. Georges-Hunt has individually a very good year with high stats. He averages 16.2ppg, 3.6rpg and 2.6apg in 19 games he played so far. Georges-Hunt is a naturalized Virgin Islander.

Michael Devoe (6’5” – G – 1999, played in 2018-22, plays in Puerto Rico) led Leones de Ponce to a victory over the second-ranked Piratas (20-14) 91-85 in the Puerto Rican BSN on Wednesday night. Devoe was MVP of the game. He recorded 23 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists; quite an impressive performance considering it’s only Devoe’s third season in pro basketball. It was the game of the round between two top 3 ranked teams in Group A. Leones de Ponce (18-16) is placed third. It was his team’s fourth consecutive victory in a row. Devoe has relatively good stats this season 11.2ppg, 4.1rpg and 4.2apg.

Charles Mitchell (6’8”-F/C-1993, played in 2014-16, currently in Mexico) contributed to an easy victory against the closely-ranked Gambusinos (2-2) 83-64 in the Mexican LNBP (second division) in Saturday night’s game. Mitchell had a double-double by scoring 11 points and getting 10 rebounds in 25 minutes. Dorados de Chihuahua (3-1) is placed third in the LNBP. But this is still an early stage of the season and everything may happen. Mitchell has relatively good stats this year 11.3ppg and 9.0rpg in four games.
