Statements from Fernando San Emeterio, sports director: “He is still a young player. Last season was his first year as a rookie in Germany, after training in college basketball in the United States. What I would highlight most is his high level of energy and activity, as well as his ability to run the court, both in attack and defense. He fits perfectly with the way we want to play: with fast possessions and a proactive and aggressive defense, and in this aspect he will contribute a lot to us. He has the versatility to be able to play both in the power forward and power forward positions, which gives us different tactical options. In addition, we believe that he still has a lot of room for improvement and, for this reason, we consider him to be a very good addition. He is a player capable of playing above the basket and helping us a lot in rebounding, both offensively and defensively. For all this, we are very happy with his addition.”
