(Ron Lewis of Cez Nymburk) The 2009/2010 basketball season is already underway in various leagues around the world. Two or three times a month we will provide collective updates on how each Buckeye is doing, this way those that are interested can read a single report instead of digging for a multitude articles. There will of course be videos and writeups on the monster performances in between the large updates. Once again the continent of Europe is home to several pro Buckeye Ballers, one guard from Columbus has already gotten off to a scorching start.
Ronald Lewis (Cez Nymburk: Czech NBL) - The talented scorer out of Brookhaven has picked up right where he left off in Isreal. In three games Lewis is averaging 20 points in blowout victories for Nymburk. Ron scored 17 in his Czech debut vs BK B&W Opava on October 3rd. Yesterday on the 14th, he had his best game to date with a 23 point performance vs BK Decin.
We were able to watch his debut game vs Opava. Right now Lewis is still trying to get comfortable with his temmates and what his coach exactly wants. He has only been averaging a little over twenty minutes per game so far, but he has already proven to be Cez's number threat as far as scoring ability. Yet, we also got a chance to see some of Ron's help, and these guys are not the returning chmaps for nothing. American big man Ian Hanavan, and guards Micheal Lenzley & Arthur Lee will be a godo supporting cast for Lewis. It was a routine game for Ron though, the SG had a couple nice drives..and we would have uploaded it sooner, but we could only record the first half. Plus the quality is a little grainy & dark, bu we'll probably upload it anyway. :)

James 'Scoonie' Penn (Virtus Bologna: Italy Serie A) - Scoonie Penn played most minutes for Virtus Bologna in their Oct. 11th season opener vs Sigma Coat. La Fortezza or Virtus wants Penn to be a calming presence on the court for a team that needs to gel. In 31 minutes Penn scored 7 points with one dime, a block, and a steal. Bologna defeated Sigma Coat. by a score of 76-86. Sigma was led by former Iowa post player Greg Brunner.
10/112009 - Virtus Bologna vs Sigma Coat - 7 points, 1 steal, 1 block, 1 assist
Brian Brown (TBB Trier: German BBL) - Brown got off to a very good start to this season. Like Penn, Brown would also pace his team with the most minutes played in the opening game at 42. The combo guard out of New York scored 14 points to go with 5 boards and 4 dimes in an overtime victory over the DT. Skyliners from Frankfurt.
10/9/2009 TBB Trier vs Skyliners 14 points, 4 assists, 5 rebounds
Je'Kel Foster (EWE Oldenburg: German BBL) - Buckeye Baller Je'Kel Foster got off to a bit of a subpar start with his champion squad Oldenburg. In the season opener vs Brose Baskets (67-55 EWE victory), Je'kel scored 5 points and pitched in 5 assists, however he shot a dismal 2-10 from the field. Fortunately for Foster, he knows that this is only the calm before the storm. He will definitely need to rebound from this performance before the tougher teams start coming to town.
10/9/2009 EWE Baskets vs Brose Baskets - 5 points, 5 assists, just 2-10 fgs ouchy
Matt Terwillger (Paderborn Baskets: German BBL) Twig had 6 points in limited action ina victory over Pheonix Hagen on October 11th.
Brent Darby (Limoges elite: France Pro B) Brent Darby has already played 3 games wwith his new club Limoges. The smooth ball handler is averaging 17 points in a little over 21 minutes of play per game. Like Lewis, Darby currently attempting to ease his way into the way Limoges likes to do things. While he is still searching for some consisteny from three point range, Brent is loving the free throw line as he knocked down 7 foul shots in his last game.
