INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE

  • Kazakhstan - Astana (2012–2016, 2017–2018)

Name: Bose, Anatoly | college: Nicholls State (2007–2011)| Additional Info: Bose attended Nicholls State University from 2007 through to 2011, playing four seasons in the Southland Conference and appearing in 120 games with 97 starts while averaging 17.1 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 1.8 assists on 43.3% shooting from the field, 37.5% from three, and 77.5% at the foul line across his career.

As a freshman in 2007-08, Bose played 31 games and made 12 starts, averaging 10.8 points and 4.8 rebounds in 24.7 minutes per game while shooting 44.8% overall, 38.3% from three, and 85.1% at the line, and he finished the year with 3.9 three-point attempts per game while also averaging 2.1 turnovers and 1.0 steal per contest.

In 2008-09, Bose moved into a near full-time starting role with 27 starts in 31 games and lifted his production to 15.0 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 2.0 assists in 31.6 minutes per game, shooting 46.9% from the field and 41.9% from three on 5.5 attempts per night, and he earned Southland all-conference recognition as a third-team selection.

During his junior season in 2009-10, Bose started all 30 games and became one of the nation’s most prolific scorers, averaging 21.1 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 2.0 assists in 35.4 minutes per game while shooting 43.9% from the floor, 38.4% from three, and 74.3% on free throws, and he was named First Team All-Louisiana, First Team All-Southland, and First Team All-District 23 by the NABC while also making the All-Southland Tournament team.

That 2009-10 season included multiple major scoring spikes, as Bose ranked 16th nationally at 21.1 points per game, scored 20 or more points in 20 of 30 games, posted a pair of 40-point games, and set a career-high 46 points in a double-overtime game on January 23 against Northwestern State while later adding a 40-point performance in the first round of the 2010 Southland Conference Tournament against Sam Houston State.

As a junior, Bose also crossed a major career milestone on December 14, 2009, when he became the latest member of Nicholls’ 1,000-point club by scoring a game-high 25 points in an 81–60 win over the University of Mobile, reaching 1,000 and 1,001 career points on a pair of free throws with seven minutes left, in a game where teammates Chris Iles scored a career-high 21 points and Fred Hunter and Kellan Carter each added 10, and Bose joined a 1,000-point group in head coach J.P. Piper’s tenure that included Ryan Bathie, Stefan Blaszczynski, and Adonis Gray.

In 2010-11, Bose’s senior season, he increased scoring production from 10.8 ppg to 22.1, recorded a career high 46 points and finished the year as one of the leading NCAA scorers of the 2010-11 season, starting all 28 games and averaging 22.1 points, 5.9 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and 1.4 steals in 34.1 minutes per game while shooting 39.4% overall, 32.5% from three, and 79.3% at the line, and he was named First Team All-Conference for the second time after also earning that honour as a junior.

Across that senior campaign, Bose produced 20 or more points in 21 of 28 games with three 30-point outings, carried a 22.0–22.1 points per game scoring average that ranked as high as second nationally during the year, and headed into the Southland Conference Tournament ranked eighth in NCAA Division I scoring, while also being named to the NABC All-District 23 First Team for a second straight season and pushing his career total past 2,000 points on March 2, 2011, to become just the third Nicholls player to reach the 2,000-point mark before finishing his Nicholls career with 2,050 points.

Bose’s senior year also included a landmark result for the program when Nicholls won at LSU for the first time in 17 tries, with Bose scoring 28 points in that victory, and he was later named Southland Conference and Louisiana player of the week after averaging 32.5 points across two games, while his 2010-11 year ended with him recognized as a two-time First Team All-Conference selection across his Nicholls tenure and with his scoring jump from 10.8 points per game early in his career to 22.1 as a senior standing as the signature arc of his NCAA run.

      Most 16-year-olds would take the bag. Luke Paul wants to take a beating. In an era where high school recruits are chasing six-figure Instagram followings and seven-figure NIL deals, Luke Paul just did the unthinkable.

He didn't do it for comfort. He didn't do it for safety. According to Paul, he did it…
