- by Eurobasket Center
Here is the weekly review of the top performing Australian players, who play currently abroad.
#11. Former international point guard Jorden Page (185-90, currently plays college basketball in the States) is a teammate of previously mentioned Matthew Dellavedova. But that was another game of his team in NCAA which we would like to mention. Page helped St.Mary's, CA win their game against the Loyola Marymount University 61-50. He scored 12 points and added 4 passes. This season Page averages only 4.3ppg. He used to play for the Australian national team four years ago. #12.

He scored 7 points, grabbed 5 boards, passed 3 assists and added 3 steals in 31 minutes. This year Greenwood averages only 4.3ppg in the 43 games.
