The Chinese pro basketball season is the earliest starter among top overseas leagues and the two names to surface this month are both ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥-connected. Santa Rita grad Terrell Stoglin made his Chinese debut Friday night and scored 51 points for China Hunan. Stoglin, who played in Lebanon last season, was matched against ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥â€™s 2013 All-Pac-12 guard Mark Lyons. Lyons, who is also in his first season in China, scored 39. A week earlier, Lyons scored 60 for China Guizhou when he made 12 of 18 3-point shots. Lyons played last season in Israel.
