TAYRA MELENDEZ
Here is the weekly review of the top performing Puerto Rican players, who play currently abroad.
#1. This week's number one is an international guard Tayra Melendez (180-93, college: Rhode Island, currently plays in Croatia). She could not help Sibenik (5-9) in their last game. Despite Melendez's very good performance Sibenik lost 63-67 on the road to the higher-ranked (#5) Tresnjevka.
She was the top scorer with 19 points. Melendez also added 7 rebounds, 4 assists and 5 steals in 40 minutes on the court; quite an impressive performance considering it's only her third season in pro basketball. Melendez has individually a very good year with high stats. She averages: 18.0ppg, 9.5rpg, 3.3apg, 2.0bpg, 3.0spg, 2FGP: 58.8%(20-34) and FT: 56.0% in four games she played so far.
Melendez is currently a member of the Puerto Rican senior national team.
#2. Second place goes to an international guard Jazmon Gwathmey (188-93, college: JMU, currently plays in Spain). She was not able to help Gernika (15-5) in their last game on Sunday. Despite Gwathmey's good performance Gernika was crushed 71-48 in Vitoria-Gasteiz by the lower-ranked Araski (#7).
She was the second best scorer with 12 points.
Gwathmey has relatively good stats this season: 12.8ppg, 5.4rpg, 1.9apg, 2FGP: 44.5%, 3FGP: 28.6% and FT: 61.7%.
She has a dual citizenship: Puerto Rican and American.
Gwathmey is in the roster of the Puerto Rican senior national team. Strangely she has never played in Puerto Rico.
#3. The Puerto Rican player who performed third best last week abroad was an international point guard Jennifer O'Neill (165-90, agency: LBM Management, college: Kentucky, currently plays in Russia). O'Neill was not able to secure a victory for Spartak Vidnoye (6-8) in their game against Enisey Krasnoyarsk (8-7) in the Russian PBL.
She scored 6 points in 16 minutes.
Spartak Vidnoye was badly defeated 93-75 in Krasnoyarsk by the higher-ranked (#4) Enisey.
It was Spartak Vidnoye's third consecutive loss in a row.
There are only four games left until the end of the Regular Season. So now every game will be critical.
This year O'Neill's overall stats are: 9.9ppg, 3.9rpg, 2.6apg, 1.2spg, 2FGP: 42.4%, 3FGP: 47.4%(9-19) and FT: 72.7% in 13 games.
She is another player who holds two passports: Puerto Rican and American.
O'Neill is also a member of the Puerto Rican senior national team. Apparently she has never played in Puerto Rico.
#4. Guard Gileysa Penzo (175-97, currently plays college basketball in the States) couldn't help the Oklahoma (2-4) in their game against the Kansas State University (4-2) in the NCAA. Penzo's contribution was not very remarkable in Sunday's game.
She scored only 2 points and added 5 passes.
The Oklahoma was defeated 83-75 in Manhattan by the Kansas State University.
It's Penzo's fifth season with the team.
Penzo's total stats this year are: 0.5ppg, 1.7rpg and 1.2apg.
She used to play for the Puerto Rican national team
back in 2012.
