After two seasons at Bilbao Basketball (03/05), team that achieved promotion to the ACB, was loaned to Bruesa campaign ahead of the 04/05, but it finally settled San Sebastian in the state, he has played to date.
base is emerging as the team's starter, especially if we consider that Perico Chamber is going through its best time, but with the arrival of Brown would not be too strange to see him play many minutes of "2" position that can also act naturally. Úriz is a player who stands by the great intensity with which it plays both offense and defense. As base is capable of carrying the team's game with simplicity and effectiveness (lost a few balls). Good dominating the ball and knows the game, you can move with remarkable effectiveness and loves to make a counterattack. Without being your best, when he gets into the game write code effectively and good percentages, both in penetration and from the perimeter. As we said, is a good defender, but more by anticipation and commitment that faculty. An interesting anecdote: For five seasons (LEB match against Tenerife), when I joined the CAI Zaragoza, played cowboys injured and a few minutes for your team had 5 players on the court ...
8 # Rod Brown : Base American (born in Dallas) of 1.86 meters tall and 29 years old will not take up space alien to have a British passport.

The following year he played in the Vive Menorca (ACB), but finished the season in the AEL Larissa (Greece). His last team was the Greek Patron AEP Olympias, from which all has come to GBC Bruesa coinciding with the Christmas break.
Brown arrives to strengthen the position of "1" in all of Gipuzkoa. Conditions have to do if he can adapt to the team. Physically strong, likes to run and implement a large intensity in all their actions. It's a great game manager and a great passer. Can take a leading role in attack at certain times, as it has good hand to pull from the middle distance (just shoot threes) and, above all, knows penetrate skill, allowing you to write or to get the ball to his teammates, which is another of his qualities. When facing the basket in the race is hard to stop, with frequent write and draw the foul on his defender. Good defender, he knows to press the passing lanes and recovered many balls. Sometimes the speed of his game translates into bad decisions or turnovers. If the track is centered within it give a great performance ...
PERIMETER:
11 # Ross Schraeder : American forward (a native of Denver) 24 years old and 1.95 meters height who arrived in the middle of the season to Bruesa GBC from the City of Huelva. It has a German passport, so it does not take up extra space. He trained as a player at the University of Cal-Irvine (NCAA, 01/06), which last year averaged 12.9 points per game. When he finished the college season signed a three-year contract with the Reggio Emilia in the Italian Lega-A, but was loaned to Sicc Jesi lower-level team (Lega-2). Huelva before joining the team last season was looking in Eastern Europe, but the test he did with the Polish Swiecie Polpak was unsatisfactory. is a versatile player in the outdoor play and can play both "2" "3" pure. It is above all a player noted for his great capacity for outside shooting, especially from beyond the line of 6.25, can score with some really incredible rates. Since the perimeter is asserting its fast and perfect mechanical arm and throwing arm, so opposing defenses can not leave a crack. Despite this quality, there is a player who rush out to pull, in contrast, know how to select your shots well and on track is not a selfish player. Has good technical background and extensive knowledge of the game. Right defender, you can better even in this aspect. Should be strengthened further in his second year in the category ...
4 # Salva Arco : Barcelona forward 23 years and 1.96 meters tall joining the team this summer from the Hospitalet. He trained as a player in the ranks of Unió Manresa and later played in the CB Navás, the latter with the team that came to debut in the EBA (01/02).

Played last season in the LEB with CB L'Hospitalet. It's
a young player with an excellent future in the national basket. You can play power forward as a pure shooting guard, since it has technical merits (passing, shooting, ball handling ...) and physically able to work in both positions. In Bruesa have a great opportunity to continue their progression within minutes in a category as demanding as the LEB. Just not yet to be a decisive player, but if you can be one of the main players in their team providing quality minutes the collective game. A player is intense, both in attack and defense. Runs well in transition and scored easily from beyond the line of 6.25. In contrast, free throws are the most ballast especially bearing in mind that causes many faults in the opposing defense ...
10 # Isaac Lopez : Granada escort of 1.96 meters and 29 years old, formed through the ranks at CB Granada. Has played for various teams in the EBA (Egabrense, Ponferrada, Plasencia and Ejido). The campaign marks the emergence 00/01, becoming the CB Plasencia in the League Newcomer of the LEB-2, which earned him the shot to the COB Ourense LEB.

After playing two seasons with Huelva, landed Santander earlier this year 05.06 (after playing only four games in Huelva) to play in the Cantabria Lobos. This summer, decided a change of scenery and accepted the challenge of ascending to the ACB Bruesa.
If you are at their best, Isaac is the very best of category in place. References will be one of his team's offense (with permission of Panko and Hopkins), a true "machine" to score when matching. No need to rely on locks or blocks to build the arm and pull, as it is able to pursue their own shots. You can play hoops both two three-pointers, while lavishing much more often when shooting from beyond line 6.25, it can also penetrate and is always willing to bend good passes to his teammates. It's fast and has good ball skills. In Defense stands out for its intensity, facet which knows how to use their excellent physical qualities. A guarantee on the perimeter San Sebastian ...
12 # Andy Panko : wing American (born in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania), 29 years old and 2.03 meters high that comes from Lagun Aro Bilbao. Formed in the Unknown Lebanon Valley University (NCAA, 96/99), and after college played one year period in the IBL with the New Mexico Slam.

Since then sits as a player following CPF and its destinations are the Caja San Fernando (04/05) and Lagun Aro Bilbao (05/07), while initiated last season in Greece with PAOK Thessaloniki.
player is the determinant of the LEB at this stage of the competition (leading the rankings in points scored and individual assessment, while it is second in rebounding). Fast, large and comprehensive, quality and physical strength make him virtually unstoppable if he plays well facing the basket (great shooter), as if his back does using its size and good moves. In this sense, can adapt to the characteristics of the rival and appears to be just as comfortable acting in "3" "4." The Bruesa not just Panko, but his team suffers when their star has no good day. It is an excellent scorer, with easy to pull out of the blocks after after boat or 1x1 playing with his counsel, and also helps a lot to rebound in both baskets. To defend is to try not to get him the ball and play not easy doing a lot of support, but complicated task. In this sense it is also the player who gets more fouls. If Panko is at its rival usually has little to do ...
15 # Carlos Andrade : Portuguese forward (a native of Cape Verde), 29 years old and 1.97 meters high that comes from Benfica Lisbon, team that has averaged 10.4 points and 4 , 5 rebounds during last season. American education has had, since from 00/01 to 02/03 season played for the team at the University of Queens, in the second category of the American College League. In your country also played for FC Porto (03/04) and Queluz CA (04/05), to which we must add their stay in the Bundesliga with Frankfurt Skyliners (05/06).
One of Pablo Laso bets for this season. This is a great power forward physical (muscular) to develop a game unpredictable while very attractive when you face the day. It has qualities to play in the paint and pivots to face rivals, complicating his defense by a eaves, and is also a good perimeter shooter, allowing you to open for play and throw. In this sense, those who do not hesitate to launch a basket if you have the chance, however much they may have failed the two previous shots. It is also a very good defender, a great wall for his rival when he decides to put enthusiasm and intensity back. Minutes and confidence you need to give the best of himself on the court (played very irregular), and should improve as the collective foundation of the game is concerned, because sometimes it suffers from being too individualistic in their actions.
GAME INSIDE:
5 # Bernard Hopkins: American power forward (he was born in Baltimore, Maryland) of 1.99 meters tall and 34 years who has come to San Sebastian from the ACB (Grupo Capitol Valladolid).

One of the biggest names in the category. Following prove absolutely everything in the ACB, Hopkins has come to the LEB with a clear mission to remain a benchmark within a team that aspires to everything. This is a "four" with much experience and quality, can do almost everything on a basketball court without attracting much attention and maneteniendo always very consistent in his game. In the attack is known to be making a living to score, especially in the low post, where he is a master, but you can also end a transition run the track as a forward, scored off an offensive rebound or another of his specialties. Excellent rebounder and defender, is also a very committed player with the teams playing and never having to take heavy responsibility. Quite a crack at age 34 is giving lessons in basketball ...
9 # Oliver Arteaga : natural pivot of the island of El Hierro, 24 years old and 2.09 meters high. Formed in the quarry of Tenerife Basketball, went still very young at the quarry Pamesa Valencia. In the 00/01 season debut, being a junior in the EBA League with Valencia Eresa (computer connected to Pamesa). After playing the following year with the branch of Pamesa Valencia (EBA) in the 02/03 leaves transferred to CB Calpe (LEB-2), although a few months later he returned to the discipline of Pamesa Valencia to play with the youth team. In the 03/04 campaign is taking a new assignment, this time at Pottery Leoni Castellón (LEB 2), and the next year and play minutes achieved in the ACB with Pamesa. Two seasons ago (05/06) LEB League debut in the hand of the CAI Zaragoza, while last season wore the colors of Tenerife Basketball.
is a power forward in recent seasons has matured in his game and has performed at a high level. It is a "five" big and strong that it has good movement back to the basket game. It also has good hand in positions close to the basket and is ready when creating space in attack for his teammates. This season he has worked-and-improved enough in the topic of free throws (the large cross), a relevant aspect when considering the large number of faults that brings out their rivals. It is a good defender, but still can greatly improve this aspect, but above all a great rebounder in both baskets, possibly his greatest strength as a player. Also intimidating in the paint thanks to his ability to put caps ...
19 # David Dobler : Santander pivot height of 2.06 meters and 27 years old, formed in the lower categories of TAU. After his great season at the Caja Rural Melilla (99-00), with whom she almost up to the ACB, was given two seasons as Ulla-Oil Rosalia de Castro (00-02), where more than fulfilled with the prospects that had been placed in him . In 2002 the CB Granada noticed him for the CBA draft, and for the year 03/04 was a key factor in the return of Andalusia to the ACB. But he was not available for the top flight, so facing the 04/05 season with the CBC is committed Algeciras (LEB), the computer from which was signed by Bruesa (LEB) a year later. With the rise and reached San Sebastian debut in the ACB (05/07), and after a short stay at the Vive Menorca (ACB) Bruesa has decided to return to in order to recover the lost category. The "chick" (have you seen her legs ...?), nickname he got his good friend Jose Balmon, has ceased to be one of the most promising of the basket pivots English, but has conditions more than enough to be a major player in the LEB. Its technical shortcomings and lapses have prevented him competing at the highest level. Doble has an enormous physical strength and a point of honor beyond all doubt, but sometimes can not handle neither the one nor the other. We need more forcefully around the basket, because with that kind of physique to do real damage in the area. On the other hand, should be more "cerebral" and avoid the slightest move off occasion, like when you whistle fouls dubious ... It is very effective in positions close to the basket, and a great rebounder because of his physique and his ability to win the position. In defense is intense and takes up much space. If I had power to move away from the hoop and improve its technical merits (boat, go ...) would be "too much" for a league like the LEB ...
12 # Vitor Faverani : Brazilian young center 19 years old and 2.11 meters in height that has come this season on loan Bruesa by Unicaja Malaga after passing through the CAI Zaragoza (LEB). Earlier in the 05/06 season he played in the CB Axarquia of LEB-2. is a "5" very young but with great quality and talent for your height. Has some explosive movements and a tremendous power of intimidation in the paint thanks to its sheer size. In attack is devastating if you get near the rim or in the low post, as it has a wide range of movements and resources to score, even has power to shoot from 4-5 meters. It is a tremendous rebounder at both ends of the court. Because of his age has yet to mature in many aspects of your game (shot selection, individual defense team play, sacrifice ...) and achieve greater consistency in performance to become the great player he says. You must also work their mentality, which sometimes makes him go "left" thinking more in numbers than the success. If you strike a balance in his game, elite awaits. In their hands ... TRAINER: Pablo Laso faces his first season in charge of Bruesa GBC. Vitoria born 40 years ago, his coach tayectoria started in the 03-04 season leading the Pottery Leoni Castellón (LEB-2). A year later took over the Pamesa Valencia (ACB), while the last two seasons (05/07) has been trained to alert Cantabria (LEB).

This is a player who stands out for its technical quality, but compensates for this deficiency with the breed that shows in all sets of the game. Your best resource is the penetration (very powerful thanks to his physique) and the 1x1 game, especially playing the low post, while its main weakness is centered in the shot (poor mechanics), aspect that has tried to improve in recent time to become a decisive player. As a curiosity, it is a left-hander who made field goals with the right and free kicks with his left hand and ... will have to be careful with their ability to penetrate and then get the ball to the perimeter shooters. It is an extraordinary defense of those able to stick like glue to completely cancel torque, also working towards the rebound.

is a "three" with good looks, offering a tremendously clean shot (does not think at the time of the triple play) and possessing great individual technique. Playing in the EBA with only 18 was able to score 40 points to CB Palos giving you all a display of what could be. His talent came to light when attacking, which is a facet in a specialist, may be two quarters doing nothing and in ten minutes makes it a "broken " the opponent from the perimeter. He is a player very safe from the free throw line and also can help a lot to rebound. If you defend a smaller player, known to carry the low post to leverage its larger scale. Without being a bad defender, his defense is perhaps its weakest. Off the track is a guy who very much deserves the punishment, which is essential for a healthy and integrated apparel ...

The " Head" is the player the house, that to which jalean fans every time he does something positive for the team. This is a "2" very experienced and always empty in minutes is on track. Especially dangerous in transition offense with their speed, is a good shooter from the perimeter, especially in extreme situations, but it hardly matches the looks on offense. His good ball handling lets you play "1" in certain situations. Defense is a real bulldog , especially against players who do not physically pass.

is a "four" for its type of play and physical characteristics, it is very difficult to defend for the opponent if successful, particularly in the shot. Especially noted for his good shot in the middle distance, including triples that can put even forced situations. This feature intended to be a very useful player to open the defenses. But also has ability to play with his back to the basket, is not exactly a man who regularly look inside game. It also has grounds to penetrate to the basket and it is not uncommon to see complete counterattacks after rebound or turnover.

is a pivot of massive scale that would be missing perhaps gain some weight to gain respect even in the paint. His long arms allow you to clog or hinder many of the shots of opponents and take many rebounds. On offense has the resources to score with ease in positions close to the basket, either after reverse, by hook or by means safer: the mate. If you do get balls can do much damage in the area rival. His handicap often personal fouls, a fact which often takes out of the game and prevent you from catching rhythm.

In defense has improved over the years, looking much steal, which sometimes has trouble charging fouls, and is not very big, yes auque skilled.

Its versatility allows you to switch in positions of "2" and "3." It's a good perimeter shooter thanks to his suspension, so high that seriously hampers his defense. It's a pretty physical player with resources to also record penetrations and explosive works much on the rebound. Although his forte is playing face to the basket, has no problems in leaving the low post to get back to the basket and score in rapid reverse. Very strong and intense, you must provide hard defensive perimeter Lugo. Not a single player despite their good numbers on the contrary, is one that makes his teammates better. Where appropriate, will be one of taking responsibility ...

When the team needs a basket it will be one of the men searching for their companions, because the responsibility does not bother him. It is also a serious player and sober fleeing spectacular actions and plays by and for the team, not to make their numbers. It is very competitive and still room for improvement, so that further progress is expected in the coming seasons and will see even in the CPF.

is an escort who is called to be instrumental in the perimeter breoganista, mostly thanks to his scoring ability based on a large external release. Like all good shooters, you need confidence to feel comfortable and be more effective facing the basket, if the first shot did not come often unhinge a little and his shot selection is not always better, which will result in bad percentage. You can also use the insights and best way to get to the basket. Without being his specialty is not bad defender, in fact can be paired perfectly with very scorers rivals and complicating their lives, although sometimes commits unnecessary fouls, especially when it is offset in attack.

On the offensive, has tremendous potential in the 1x1, which knows how to use your body to create his own shot, both in penetration and from the perimeter.

Shortly before closing the 'transfer market' in the LEB, decided to terminate his contract and sign for the Breogán.
In Portugal all the world knows him as "Betinho." You can become one of the pleasant surprises of the season by little who successfully exploited his talent. This is a forward with great physical condition, with great dynamism in the arms and legs. If necessary it can also act as a "2" and even would not be strange to see him play in the low post as "4." It has a good hand to pull in suspension, preventing the hand of his defender with a slight shift back and throwing with great arch, although sometimes abused triples. It is a very versatile player and dominates nearly every facet of the game: boat, ability to penetrate (great first step and hand change), jumping ability to support on the boards, good passer ... Other qualities are his intelligence, his temper and good reading of the game, especially offensive. It's a smart player who rarely rushes.

reached in principle to be the fourth pivot in Paco Garcia schemes, but still has conditions to earn a lot of minutes in the interior of the joint rotations Lugo. This is a "four" big and strong that it has improved greatly in recent seasons, so it is with a good opportunity to endorse their conditions in a team with aspirations. Up front is a player with resources to score, especially near the basket, but also has to get out of hand painting and making triple throw with good percentages. Can significantly help the robot has to defend internal body big and strong, but lacks inches to be more efficient in this work. It will be an important season for him, because it has conditions to continue growing as a player, but his mentality is not always the best, this being one of the aspects to work towards the future ...
5 # Davin Davis : American power forward (born in Miami), 33 years old and 2.00 meters high, which does not take up extra space to have a English passport.

Davin Davis is the top rebounder (1,369 sacks) of the history of the ACB league Breogán (5 seasons), and the second leading scorer (2445 points) in the top flight.
Possibly the star of Breo and the main reference of their game. This is a "four" experienced and able to dominate a game if you have a good day, making it easy sometimes difficult. He moves well in the vicinity of the rim, where it can do damage with his low post moves and playing through his good hand to shoot from 4-5 feet, and his great vision of the game makes you give good assistance to colleagues. He is a player of good athletic ability, allowing you to compensate for their low height zone. It is also a very good defender, but is sometimes exceeds the faults, able to intimidate and to support the rebound in both boards. You should avoid losing so many balls. Extremely competitive and a winning mentality out of the question, has the experience and knowledge of the game needed to make a very Breogán to consider ahead of this season ... * has terminated its contract with the team confirmed Lugo after supraspinatus tendon tear in his right shoulder and returned to the U.S. to start recovery.

Subsequently disputed the LEB with Farho Gijón (05/06) before returning to the ACB of the hand of CB Valladolid last season.
be the perfect complement to Davis. It is one of those players who bring many more things that reflect the statistics of the parties and that their technicians are in high esteem by all they offer to team play and the group off the track. It's a smart player for the game and provided a strong physical positions to move indoors. Thus, among its qualities are being a great rebounder in both baskets, and at the same time is an excellent defender, able to paint fajarse who takes and to retrieve many balls in a season.

Clark will file with the Breogán related equipment, the students Lugo EBA League.
is considered one of the great promises of the quarry of students but for now, not over exploited. This is a very tall player, although his game is more of a "4" "5", as it has open playing conditions for their ability to score from middle and long distance, where it exhibits precise mechanical wrist and a quick release. It also has all the qualities to be a dominant player in the paint within a few years since, although he notes major ways, is still very green. For example, you must work hard defensive concepts, both in attitude and aptitude to be a respected player in the vicinity of the rim. To not slow its progression, the study has chosen to cede to a team LEB minutes looking for help to continue improving their education.

Lleida managed to ascend to the ACB League and enjoyed that status for four seasons, 05/06 until the team fell to the LEB. He has been with the English absolute (was present at the Athens Olympics).
For his character and experience is a natural leader for his teammates. On the track known for his explosiveness and speed that gives his actions, especially when removing the counterattack. Not a great shooter can score from different positions, especially triple penetrations to the basket, while those who think before in giving assistance to score a basket. Is an outstanding defender, very hard and sticky with his counterpart, making it difficult to overtake in the handoff. In addition, its qualities is the ease having to retrieve the ball thanks to its fast hands and ability to read the game. If you are physically at 100% this is one of the best pure base category ...

Jaume Comas be alternated with the direction of play in Lleida. It's been a pleasant notes of the team this season. This is a base that stands by his physical strength and tireless defensive work in the plot, which boasts a great intensity in the individual mark, it is even able to help on the rebound thanks to his height and jumping ability. On offense has a magnificent view of game that lets you set a good number of assists in each game. His whole game when you can win out on speed, since it has good legs and ball handling to run the counter, completed it can get the ball or making the partner best placed. Bad hand without the outside shot is not one of its most notable.
PERIMETER:

Trained as a player at Saint Louis University (NCAA), until his arrival at the LEB had been playing in the BG Karlsruhe in the Bundesliga, having previously played for clubs in Switzerland (Lugano) and France (Levallois, Saint-Quentin), in addition to the German Freiburg Benetton.
is a very versatile player, joined the team as ilerdense to increase competitiveness in the position of "1", while the current configuration of the template is doing play "2." On the track is a player "right", but quite complete without highlighting for anything in particular, those that do not win games by themselves but contribute their bit to help win. It's very intense, especially when defending, while the attack is taking advantage of its ability to penetrate speed and skill in the 1x1, and hand to shoot from outside.

In the 03/04 campaign decided to sign for Basketball Menorca, the club he played 3 seasons and with that achieved up to the ACB. Lleida arrived last season from precisely the Llanera Menorca (ACB).
One of the "weaknesses" of the writer. We are faced with an escort provided with a prodigious physical injuries that slowed his progress in past seasons. Great shooter from the perimeter, especially from beyond the line of 6.25, does not hesitate to drive to the basket as you see the hole, using his quickness and leaping ability (he was in a dunk contest CPF). Is one of those players who make their flag nerve and sometimes go beyond the tactical system to make their own thanks to his natural talent ... Good defender, can to retrieve many balls over the season thanks to its ability to anticipate and prodigious legs. As it often happens to the genius of the basket, sometimes lacks a bit of consistency (regularly) in their game.
