Statements Fernando San Emeterio , sports director: “He is a player who is in a very good moment of professional maturity. He trained in Spain and later developed his career in the NCAA. In the ABA League he has had a very good performance, with good numbers also in the Basketball Champions League. He will bring depth to our rotation in the five position, with a great capacity for sacrifice, standing out in offensive rebounding and in pick and roll defense. Above all, what has been key for us is the ambition he has shown to return to the ACB League and to play with us. This motivation has been decisive when making this decision.”
