Colter Lasher
Anchorage’s Colter Lasher no doubted was frustrated with being benched for the first time this season, but he didn’t pout. He went to work.
The second-year pro with the Geraldton Buccaneers responded with a 21-point, 9-rebound effort to lead his team to an 80-77 win over the Willetton Tigers to maintain second place in Australia’s State Basketball League.
Lasher, of Dimond High fame, made 8-of-16 field goals, including a pair of 3s, to help him reach double figures for the 17th straight game.
This was the first time he knocked two 3-pointers in one game since May 11.
The 6-foot-7 forward ranks second on his team and 22 nd in the league with a 17.8-point scoring average.
