First Team All-November - Brandie Hoskins (Guard/Forward - 5 Years Pro) is the top player of November 2011 after another dominant month of play in Romania. Brandie currently the number one scorer in the league and it doesn't look like she will be relinquishing that title anytime soon. Here's why, in five November games, Hoskins averaged 25.8 ppg and 6 assists. Her best scoring game of the month was a admirable 30 point effort against ICIM Arad, the #2 team in Romania (November 29).

• Je'Kel Foster - Guard (6) Years Pro (Veteran Je'Kel Foster experienced the most challenging schedule of all the Pro Buckeyes in November. His Munich, Germany based club, FC Bayern, had a crazy stretch that included two tough Eurocup away games in Russia and Croatia and contests in opposition to heavyweights ALBA Berlin and Benetton Treviso at home. Je'Kel was one of Bayern's top leaders (13ppg) in that difficult series of games. He continues to display that tough brand of basketball we have come to expect. Top moments - Foster dropped 31 points in Artland Nov. 12, led Bayern to their first ever Eurocup victory over Treviso on Nov. 14, and scored the game deciding three pointer versus Fraport on Nov. 12)

• Othello Hunter - Forward - (4) Years Pro (Othello Hunter had a monster first month of Basketball in China. He is currently the top rebounder in the CBA after five straight dbl-dbl games resulting in super nice averages of 18.4 ppg & 16.2 rpg! The forward from Winston Salem, North Carolina collected a season high 21 rebounds in his regular season debut on 11.19. Hunter also had 27 points (12 fgs including two threes) & 19 rebounds in Shandong's big victory over Wilson Chandler and Guangsha on 11.25. Shandong went 3-2 in the month of November.)

• Brittany Johnson - Guard - Rookie (First year pro Brittany Johnson, the player of October 2011, picked right up where she left off by scoring 28, 25, and 26 in three November games. Lady Buckeye fans knew Brittany would probably find success from the outside as she is a great shooter, but we have also been very impressed with how adept she has been at getting to the foul line and converting. Johnson is really damaging teams in this area..she earned 31 free throw attempts in those 3 games and made 28 of 31! - 90.3% )
  

• George Reese - Forward - (12) Years Pro (G. Reese averaged 14.8 ppg in five November Polish League games. In AZS Koszalin's 109-75 blowout of LKS Lodz..George contributed 24 points, half of which came from the 4 three pointers he hit out of six attempts. AZS Koszalin faced three of the top teams in Poland during November..they are currently ranked #6 in ths standings with a 5-6 record)
