Dropping ten points for Filou Oostende in Gameday 3 of the Basketball Champions League Regular Season included a dunk of special proportions for Joppe Mennes. The youngster placed first on the Top 5 Plays of the Week 5.
Mennes, 20, connected 5/8 from the field, helping the Belgium champions in the comeback win versus EWE Baskets Oldenburg on Wednesday. A rich tradition of the lasting original of the league in developing players is stretching to the promising swingman.
With the Top 5 entirely consisting of dunks, a dazzling acrobatic display put Ivan Almeida in second place, but was not enough for Benfica to get the job done opposite Galatasaray Ekmas in Istanbul.
In the third spot was Jacques Alingue finishing a play for JDA Dijon en route to the home win versus Promitheas.
Ranking fourth, Chaundee Brown Jr. pushing SIG Strasbourg past Pinar Karsiyaka was highlighted by a spectacular effort.
Hapoel Holon’s Niv Misgav sits fifth behind another huge dunk.
