He was not able to help Movil Estudiantes (0-0) in their game against Baloncesto Fuenlabrada (1-2) in the Spanish Liga Endesa. Kadji cannot count Sunday's game as one of the best ones.

This year Kadji's overall stats are: 10.0ppg, 4.3rpg, 3FGP: 41.7% in three games. He played for the Cameroonian national team one years ago.

NaNa was the second best scorer with 8 points in 19 minutes. It was his first game for Swiss Central this season. Swiss Central was crushed 80-49 on the opponent's court by the higher-ranked (#3) Monthey. It was Swiss Central's seventh consecutive loss in a row. NaNa used to play for the Cameroonian national team back in 2015.

Aldo Curti

   #5.

The list of other players, who all have Cameroonian passport but never been selected to any of Cameroonian national teams:

   #1. Ralph Temgoua (194-G-87, college: St.Lawrence, currently plays in France) was the major contributor in a SO Maritime Boulogne's victory against the 11th-ranked La Rochelle (1-3) crushing them 76-53 in the French NM1 (third division) last Saturday.

Nyama scored 14 points in a mere 18 minutes; quite an impressive performance considering it's only his third season in pro basketball. Tigers Tuebingen (3-1) is placed sixth in the ProA.
