Former Stephen F. Austin standouts are opening new professional seasons across international leagues. Kevon Harris is producing in Japan, while rookie Keon Thompson has made an immediate impact in England; several other Lumberjacks are also establishing themselves with clubs across Europe, Asia and the Americas.

By the Numbers
  • 11 former Lumberjacks are in season; 4 others recently finished campaigns or await new assignments or verified statistics.
  • Harris is averaging 19.5 points, 5.4 rebounds and 5.7 assists through 12 games for Japan’s Shinshu Brave Warriors.
  • Thompson is averaging 15.5 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.0 assists across 11 appearances for Manchester Basketball.
  • Nana Antwi-Boasiako is averaging 13.3 points and 12.0 rebounds through 3 games for Bulgaria’s CSKA Sofia.
Yes, But

Early-season figures offer only a snapshot: some players have logged just a few games, and statistics for several recent signings have yet to be confirmed. The update also spans leagues and competitions, so performance totals are not directly comparable.

State of Play
  • Harris, in his seventh professional season, has started strongly in Japan after representing Team USA in World Cup qualifying.
  • Thompson is translating a standout final college season into production in his first professional campaign.
  • Former Lumberjacks are spread across professional teams in Japan, Finland, England, France, Kosovo, Belgium, Bulgaria and other countries.
What’s Next

As their seasons progress, upcoming games will show whether the early production holds and how new arrivals settle into their teams. More verified statistics should also clarify the starts for players whose clubs have only recently begun competition.

Bottom Line

SFA’s professional footprint is broad, but Harris and Thompson are the clearest early standouts: one is delivering across the stat sheet in Japan, and the other is making a strong first impression as a pro.
