BASES:


8 # Francesc Puyada : Barcelona based on 26 years and 1.86 meters height who joined the team in the 04/05 season from the WTC Cornella (LEB-2). He trained as a player in the ranks of Sant Josep and then at 99 he joined the youth ranks FC Barcelona (Liga EBA) until 2001.

will be the starting point guard if anything unusual happens. It is an above all a team player, the kind that play on the basis of the collective. It is a brain stem, perfectly capable of handling the "tempo" of the game thanks to his experience and knowledge of the game. Endowed with a good ball-handling, has a great ability to lead the team and is a great passer in both static and transition. Know how to defend and has a good outside shot, especially from beyond the three point line, facet which has been gaining in confidence and is very safe in the free throws. Has leadership skills and, if the team needs him, not afraid at the time of taking responsibility. It is also a very good defender. Should give more continuity to his game because at times "disappears" from the track ....


6 # Uncle Pau: Barcelona based on 29 years and 1.78 in height which was formed as a player in the ranks of Gramanet. He played several seasons in the EBA with the Barcelona team, and good numbers allowed him to jump into the hand LEB Basketball Tenerife, where he arrived in 2001. The following year he returned to Catalonia to play in Tarragona, where the team stayed until the end of the season 06/07. Looking to this season started out playing Gapsa Imaje Sabadell (LEB-2), calling in the Mallorcan box in the middle of January.

is an experienced-based ramp always brings good things for your computer. From a technical standpoint, has excellent ball skills and great ability to pass. Have the resources to do damage on attack, as it can penetrate and score from beyond the line of 6.25 with some effectiveness. Compensates for his small stature with his ability to anticipate and speed of your game, look in attack allows him to break his defender and played 1x1.

PERIMETER:


5 # Guy Muya : base of Belgian nationality (born in Kinshasa, capital of Congo), 24 years old and 1.92 meters in height that has come this summer from the Italian basketball. Formed through the ranks at Pepinster Belgian, became part of the first team for two years (02/04) before joining the Euphony Liege (04/06. Last season, the 06/07, was initiated into the ranks of Belgian league champions, the Telindus Oostende, with whom he also played the ULEB Cup. In December 2006, was signed by Legea Scafati (Italy's Lega A) until the end of the season. Muya is a fixture of the Belgian national team since 2004.

Puyada be the alternative to the base station. Muya is one of the largest Belgian players of the moment. exterior is a versatile, because their height does not have problems to accommodate the position of "2." It is characterized by its great athletic ability, allowing it to be a great defender. That is precisely one of its greatest strengths, defensive aggression, which makes it an important player for his team. He has been a few seasons in which his game has not stopped growing, so it should be strengthened especially in the offensive aspect to be a competitive player at the highest level. Also needs to improve his reading of the game and be more incisive with the ball in his hands.


17 # Anderson Schutte : Brazilian escort height of 1.95 meters and 32 years of age. Good basketball fans do not need much clarification of who this Brazilian German passport arrived in Spain in the 98/99 season from the Sao Paulo Bauru Tilibra to play in the Caja San Fernando (ACB), where he showed his great gifts as a scorer for 4 years and then go to CB Cáceres in the season 01/02. The last five seasons he has played in the LEB League: A Year in Melilla (02/03), two in Tarragona (03/05), one in Los Barrios (05/06) and last in the Palma Aqua Mágica, so facing his second season with the GPA.

potentially beyond their percentages and their minutes game, is one of the best forwards in the LEB: external launch is devastating, almost unstoppable when he is on a roll, although his best years as a player seems to have gone now, at least to be a major player in a team with aspirations. Schutte has now become a team player who knows how to play his role and always selects good shooting positions, rarely precipitates. If there is no day that is not obsessed with the opposite basket, as it can bring more things known to penetrate, can lead the team's game thanks to his ball skills and is also an outstanding defender and a highly intelligent player who knows how to do at all times the correct reading of the game.


7 # Miquel Feliu : Barcelona forward 22 years old and 1.98 meters high at the quarry formed Manresa. After playing one year on loan at Olesa CB (EBA) in the 04/05 campaign was returned to the discipline of Ricoh Manresa, although a few months was transferred again, this time to CB Hospitalet (LEB-2), equipment with which he was promoted to the LEB and he played one season (05/06) in that category. Last season he returned to the Ricoh Manresa (LEB), team that won promotion to the ACB.

is a high wing that has left Manresa with the idea of \u200b\u200bcontinuing to grow in his game and become a major player. Despite his youth has the mentality and the conditions necessary to bring the team a lot, even some experience despite his age. It's a very physical player, actually playing in lower divisions inside to take advantage of its conditions, a circumstance that allows you to rub shoulders with bigger players on both defense and attack. It will help in rebounding, especially offensive, although it may have problems with fast forwards. On offense has the resources to enter into or playing in the low post, although not hesitate to shoot from the perimeter if you have room ...


10 # Josep Pacreu : escort Badalona 29 years and 1.94 meters tall, made in the quarry of Joventut Badalona, \u200b\u200bwith whose jersey debuted on ABC. In the 97/98 season alternated his presence in Sant Josep Badalona (dark green branch of the League EBA) and the Drac Inca (LEB), while a year later he moved to Gijón Basketball (LEB) given again by badaloneses , contributing to the rise of the CPF team. After a new release, now in Menorca, in the 00/01 season he got the opportunity to integrate the template Joventut (ACB). By not having the desired minutes the following season he returned to Gijón to integrate the new draft of the Asturian ACB. However, there remained only a season, and that the campaign returned to the LEB 02/03 to play with the COB Ourense. After two further seasons at Gijón Farho (03/05) in the summer of 2005 decided to commit to the Palma Aqua Mágica, the team faced its third season.

escort is an experienced and complete enough that stands out for its release outside, especially from three points, but was never a big scorer, perhaps because he always preferred to put their skills to the team. You can also enter with remarkable effectiveness, or where appropriate, draw many fouls its defenders. He is a gifted player of some talent and has shown more basketball to date, but various reasons has never ended to exploit its performance. Superb professional, works very well on defense, which boasts a total surrender. His minutes have gone downhill track with the passing of the seasons, and now nothing more than an occasional replacement for Mike Feliu and Jackson ...



GAME INSIDE:


11 # William Rejón : Madrid pivot 31 years old and 2.06 meters high. Formed in the quarry of Students, played four years (94/98) in the second student team and even got to debut in the ACB. In the 98/99 season played for Abeconsa Ferrol (LEB) and then played two years in Alicante (99/01), which won promotion to the ACB. Then he went one year to the Cantabria Lobos (ACB), and from season 02/03 has been a militant in the ranks of the Forum Valladolid (ACB).

Roe will be next to the great bulwark of the team in the game inside. This is a player capable of acting both "4" "5" and especially noted for its defensive qualities. Is able to catch up with rivals larger and heavier, but sometimes the intensity and tenacity make him fast loading of faults. Is able to rebound on both boards because of their ability to win the position with your body. In attack is an acceptable shot from 3-4 feet, and also have good moves if you get in the low post. Their degree of commitment to the team and work ethic make him one of those professionals that any coach would be available.


14 # Chuck Kornegay : veteran U.S. player (born in North Carolina) that has an EU passport since January 2001 after her marriage to a English woman. This is a pivot of 33 years old and 2.06 meters high out of the University of Villanova (94 / 97, NCAA). He had his first professional experience in Australia with the Brisbane Bullets (97/98). The 98/99 season came to Spain hand in hand with Caja San Fernando (ACB), playing with Sevilla until 00/01. After gaining his English passport he joined Unicaja Malaga (ACB), where he played three seasons at a good level. The 04/05 season he transferred to Dinamo Moscow Russian, who played the FIBA \u200b\u200bEurope Cup the following season (05/06) was initiated in Turkey in Istanbul Besiktas, but in November ended up in the Llanera Menorca (ACB) to the end of the season. Last season he played with the Etos T Alicante (ACB). Participated in European Turkey in 2001 with the English team, earning the bronze medal. He came to team

ago some weeks due to injury of Argentine Martin Nogués. Contribute their expertise in collective good. It is an athletic power forward, the power in its purest: all your game (strengths and weaknesses) is based on a unique physical qualities that make it a fast player, big and very coordinated in their actions. His favorite play is to receive in the low post after winning the position with his body, and then crush the rival basket, action that is also running behind an offensive rebound. In this regard, I must say that it is a 'timing' exceptional jump, allowing you to capture a lot of rebounds and put many plugs. You can also enter through his good hand to pull to 4-5 meters. Defense is a player who always looks intimidate and force the opponent's shots, which makes him prone to charging foul. To date is having a rather secondary role in his new team ...


9 # Horacio Nogués : Italo-Argentine power forward (born in Buenos Aires), 31 years old and 2.10 meters high facing his first season in the Balearic team. National League debuted in Argentina with Atenas de Cordoba in the 99/00 season, joining a year later by the Buenos Aires Independent. In the 01/02 campaign to change shirt again, this time to enlist in the Regatas Corrientes. From then he has always fought in the English basketball, first in the EBA with the Celts Breogán (02/03), then in the LEB-2 with Leoni Ceramics Castellón (03/04) and the Caja Rioja (04/05) and later in the LEB with CB Calpe (05/07), where this summer has come to the WFP.

is a "5" pure and great and strong, making it a very useful player on the defensive and looking to rebound. Hardness is used with the brand, but is very noble in this regard. Has good hand for long shots and a front hook pretty interesting things that make him a player able to function very well in the paint. As handicap I must say that if you are physically fit, you spend much toll on his game, and it becomes very slow and heavy actions. Perfect player to play a pivot role of substitute, because it can make a good contribution in both defense and attack off the bench, and it is one of those players who work for and the team.


12 # Thomas Terrell : American power forward 28 years and 2.01 meters in height that has come to the team after starting the season in the nearby Inca. He trained as a player at Georgia State University (NCAA). In 2001 he competed in the USBL with the Florida Sea Dragons and also had a brief experience in basketball Mexican (Fighting Cocks). In the season 02/03 is coming to Europe to play in the Belgian Wevelven, where their numbers drew the attention of the City of Huelva (LEB). Not finished yet integrated within the framework of Huelva and left the team after 14 days. In the 04/05 season by CB Hospitalet tab, then in the LEB-2, and his life changes. Becomes the MVP of the category and you showered with offers. However, it remains in the team to play two seasons in the LEB and back again the best of the category, as well as top scorer. This summer he decided to change of scene and joining the Basketball Inca, although during the month of February terminated his contract and left the CB L'Alcudia.

The American pivot comes as one of the undisputed stars of the team, although this must be physically fit. Its impact on the game goes beyond statistics. The class that executes each of their shares has earned the respect of rivals. When no one is waiting out a glimpse of their quality, either scoring a triple, giving support without looking or dancing to their defense with the ball. Sometimes it seems to be really unstoppable. Despite playing power forward is capable of killing the opponent from afar, even from beyond the 6.25, since it has a devastating shot but his technique is not too orthodox. Not a great defender but instead a great rebounder. Player also humble and unselfish on the court, to watch him play is a treat for the eyes. We'll see how you feel the change of scenery and overcome his injury last season ...

Last year was in the Caja San Fernando (ACB), although only available in minutes.

is a power forward who has returned to the LEB with intent to claim as a player capable of earn a lot of minutes and show the good he has. Particularly remarkable for their dedication and constant struggle. On the track no doubt fajarse pivots against taller and stronger, as it is of those players that do not wrinkle ever. In La Palma came to play injured several times, which proves its ability to sacrifice for the good of the team. Above all a defensive player, very good rebounder and anticipate your opponent knows. On offense has improved its resources, being able to score after being in the low post, or taking advantage of his good shot from 4-5 feet.

external reference will be the great Spaniard team. This is a "2" stands out for its superb outside shooting, especially his knack for scoring triple incredible percentages. His technical background and ball handling as well as basic play if necessary, allow it to manufacture his own shot (can use very well the body), while its speed of movement and the ease with which weapon facilitate his arm throw it out the blockages. Also known to run after defensive rebound and is very good penetrating, while the defense has conditions and mentality to do well.

Without doubt, its arrival at Palma has been one of the sensations of the League LEB in recent years. Despite its age, it is a "4" of a proven quality and a remarkable experience. On the court does many things and almost all good. For your physical and inner game mastery could even play "5" without problems, and more in a league like the LEB. It's a great scorer, because of his low-post and his good hand to pull to 4-5 meters, even triple if you have a foot to stand. Rebounding with solvency in both boards and is easy to run in transition, but has slowed over the years. His enormous capacity for leadership will be vital in the fight of his team to get into the play-offs.

Last year he began playing in the ACB with Vive Menorca, but the lack of minutes it took to return to Inca the season started.

can act as both "2" or pure small forward (his natural position), but also knows what it is to act circumstantially in the base position with its ball handling and vision. It is a still young player with room to grow and further strengthened in the category. It has a lot of talent and a good foundation in attack: a great shooter (good percentages in triples) and dangerous penetrator, although his youth make him somewhat uneven at times. Always displays very intense in the time it is on track, which also makes him a good defender. Should become a benchmark in the game of basketball outside Inca. He nicknamed the "microwave" because it often takes too long to warm up, and is an idol for the fans Mallorca ...



GAME INSIDE:


4 # Alberto Alzamora : born in Palma de Mallorca 33 years ago. "Berto" of just 1.98 meters tall, was formed in the lower categories of Granollers. In 1995 he debuted at the EBA with Drac Inca, the club which won promotion to the LEB and in which he played until 1999, when the Girona was recruited for the ACB. The following year he moved to North African lands to play in the Melilla one year before returning in 2001 back to Drac Inca, his club so far. It is the team captain.

Albert is a false power forward who always guarantee a good performance, but the years have pushed to be a rotation player. Although it is already a veteran, facing a season with more enthusiasm than before seeking to increase competitiveness and be done with minute rotations José Luis Abós. Sober is a player with vast experience and expert of all the intricacies of the class and club. With its height is not afraid to fajarse on the boards with larger pivots. It has good moves around the basket, especially when feint to score on short shots. As a "four" wing-body knows how to take advantages in transitions, as it is often faster than its peer. He likes to defend hard and it helps in rebounding (knows very well win the position, especially on offense).


15 # Jan Orfila : Mallorca young center height of 2.07 meters and 21 years who has come on loan for CB Granada. He took his first steps on the CCE Sant Lluís Menorca and 15 were chosen to enroll in the cadet Alcudia Basketball Club (now Palma Aqua Mágica). Their conditions allowed him shortly after joining the XXI Century Training Center - Basque Country in 2002, being recruited subsequently by Joventut Badalona (Season 03/04) for junior military team. Since the 04/05 season has been associated with CB Granada, having competed with the Club in various categories: National Division 1 ª Andaluza, EBA League, National Circuit Sub'20 ... The most awaited moment by Jan Orfila came in May 2006 when it debuted in the ACB League, and he did nothing less than winning on the track Real Madrid 97-99. Last season in the EBA League, playing with the reserves Granada (called Orthopedics 7 Cabra - CB Granada) had averages of 15.2 points and 7.2 rebounds. He also participated with CB Granada in Sub'20 National Circuit, one of the best players, averaging 15 points and 8.6 rebounds ...

is one of the José Luis Abós bets ahead of the season. Player of the earth, try to show their good condition in a category as the LEB. Is a power forward with a promising future, which has a physical (improved) which can not move very well in the paint, both in attacking and charging the rebound in both racks. Child run the court very well despite his height and not uncommon to see the end of the counter. In defense is a tough player, able to fight with stronger pivots while still lacks experience and knowledge of the game, aspects that come with minutes. In Inca expect a lot from him ...


9 # Danya Abrams : U.S. power forward (born Greenburhg, New York), 33 years old and 2.01 meters high. It has a English passport, so no extra space occupied. He trained as a player in Boston University (NCAA), where he played in the 93/97 period. After a brief stint in the USBL with the AC Seagulls in the 97/98 season went to Lithuania to play for Zalgiris Kaunas. In the 98/99 season coming to Spain signed for Valvi Girona (ACB), signing in the next by the CB Caceres (ACB). Then come the Unicaja Malaga (00/02), the Caja San Fernando Sevilla (02/04) and CB Granada (04/05). Since then leave the ACB and stops in the Greek basketball for two seasons, first in the Apollon Patras (05/06) and later in Maroussi Honda Athens (06/07). Signed in November for two months with the Greek Patron AEP Olympias, calling in January at the Inca Basketball replacing Terrell.

is an atypical power forward in this case by the fact of playing in the paint scrapings with two meters. Experienced player and high bulk, especially noted for its offensive capability, as it is able to function well in the low post and score from the middle distance. Despite his age still has a huge class, especially when put the ball on the floor and face his par, which often spill over to score with ease. In defense always guarantees a good handful of rebounds and a lot of intensity, while their height is limited to larger poles and versatile. It has character and leadership ability on the track.


14 # Lamont Hamilton : American power forward 2.08 meters high and 23 years of age born Brooklyn (New York). He trained as a player in the prestigious St.John 's Universitiy (NCAA), which completed its four-year cycle averaging nearly 13 points and 7 rebounds in the last three seasons. Last season was named to the NBA from the Big-East Conference.

has a magnificent painting. Very versatile player, must take advantage of their ability to play with his back to the basket in the low post and scoring around the average. You can also go to the high post to shoot from 4-5 feet, even if you have time can throw a triple. You may need to select better shots, so you should learn to read better game situations. It's fast know your height and take the ball to the ground to overwhelm the defenders. His intensity and physical strength will also become a good defender, can rebound with competence in both baskets and his ability to intimidate opponents clog. Has preferred test in Europe before trying to jump to the NBA, so expect a lot and good about this Lamont Hamilton ...

TRAINER:

José Luis Abós , technical Zaragoza born 47 years ago and will face his 3rd season in Mallorca box. In his youth he was a player in the lower categories of CAI Zaragoza. After an apprenticeship in the offices and on the bench at the national level (CAI Zaragoza, Bilbao Basket, Circle of Badajoz, Breogán, Girona) and international (Wake Forest, NCAA), Abós took over the bench in Drac Inca 05/06 (Drac and was coach of the year 00/01) making the team one of the pleasant surprise of the LEB. Unbreakable has led to all the play-offs in the past two seasons.



OTHER PLAYERS USED DURING THE SEASON:


9 # Thomas Terrell : American power forward 28 years and 2.01 meters in height facing first season in the ranks of the Inca. He trained as a player at Georgia State University (NCAA). In 2001 he competed in the USBL with the Florida Sea Dragons and also had a brief experience in Mexican football (Fighting Cocks). In the season 02/03 is coming to Europe to play in the Belgian Wevelven, where their numbers drew the attention of the City of Huelva (LEB). Not finished yet integrated within the framework of Huelva and left the team after 14 games. In the 04/05 season by CB Hospitalet tab, then in the LEB-2, and his life changes. Becomes the MVP of the category and you showered with offers. However, it remains in the team to play two seasons in the LEB and back again the best of the category, as well as top scorer. This summer, decided a change of scenery and a move to set unbreakable.
American
The pivot is the undisputed star of the team and, if physically fit, one of the great masters of the LEB League. Its impact on the game goes beyond statistics. The class that executes each of their shares has earned the respect of rivals. When no one is waiting out a glimpse of their quality, either scoring a triple, giving support without looking or dancing to their defense with the ball. Sometimes it seems to be really unstoppable. Despite playing power forward is capable of killing the opponent from afar, even from beyond 6.25, as it has a devastating shot but his technique is not too orthodox. Not a great defender but instead a great rebounder. Player also humble and unselfish on the court, to watch him play is a treat for the eyes. We'll see how you feel the change of scenery and overcome his injury last season ...


8 # Sotiris Manolopoulos : Greek power forward just 19 years old and 2.08 meters high, which is committed to the Inca Basketball for the next three seasons. International all categories below with the Greek national team, is considered one of the most promising in Europe, being a candidate to play in the Greek national team and come complete in the next NBA Draft. Manolopoulos was the captain of PAOK Thessaloniki, where he enjoyed just minutes. However, the explosion occurred at the end of last season, in the Play Offs against Olympiakos, scoring 11 points, 6 rebounds and 1 steal in 15 minutes he played.

In a few years will be talking about, because conditions for basketball has plenty. A versatile player, his position in principle would be "4", while still developing as a player and would be nothing strange to see him playing as "3" in a short time, even some do not rule out progress to end up playing escort. Their main problem now is his physique, little song for a player his size and, especially, little fit to compete at the highest level in the future. However, the track is a player as left over resources that can compensate for any physical deficiency, is smart, knows how to handle the ball, understands the game well and is a great perimeter shooter also able to move freely in the low post thanks his arms and his breadth of footwork. His physique, however, limits you a little when facing the basket in penetration. In defense has a lot of presence but lacks kilos to defend large, heavy poles and intensity and speed of movement to catch up with faster forwards. The good: has 19 years and work everything can be improved ...


11 # Franco Rocchi : young Italian-Argentine forward 21 years old and 1.92 meters tall that arrived to the Balearics this summer after passing through the CB Palencia of the LEB-2. Left the ranks of Club Náutico Zárate, already a junior became a promising figure of Argentine football, a fact which led to his arrival in Spain after being captured by the CB Leon (LEB) for their lower levels. Initially the team played for the University of León (EBA), a subsidiary of CB Leon, where credited a great progression as a player that allowed him to debut in the LEB with the first team. Last year he played in the CB Palencia (LEB-2).

is a player who stands by the intensity that shows on the track. It's smart, fight every ball and lacks self-confidence. At their height should adjust to playing in "2", a post he can do well, although their technical and gameplay also allow you to handle a "3." It has a good command of the ball and can penetrate to the basket effectively using their speed and jumping ability. In Leon worked hard to improve his shot, looking to make it less flat and more parable to describe, which has succeeded, so now it can also threaten from positions farther from the basket. A lot better defensively, facet which can "fajarse" with any overhang. It will be a major campaign for him.

MELILLA CANTABRIA LOBOS BASKETBALL




FRAN HERRERA / ublapalma.blogspot . com

The Melilla Basketball is by seniority, one of the classics of the LEB League, and he has played all editions of this category since its founding in Season 96/97. In these years, the team of the Autonomous City is established as one of the campuses to take into account each year, having won his greatest accomplishments in 1999 and 2001, years in which their cases were taken to Prince of Asturias Cup.

Melilla has always been a city basketball tradition, although it was not until the 91/92 season when he could have a professional team in the 1st division, a subsidiary of then Unicaja Malaga. After a year as UD Melilla, 93/94 season finally began to set the current project Melilla Basketball Club, which in recent years have been consolidated into the elite of English basketball.

These resources to be measured on Friday UB La Palma in the Pavilion "Ciudad de Melilla"

BASES:


8 # Diego Ciorciari : English-Argentine base (It has an Italian passport) of 27 years old and 1.83 meters high this summer has come to Melilla from Breogán (LEB). He started playing in the ranks of Argentina Ferro Carril Oeste (98/02), the computer from which decided to leave to play for a few months in Arkadia Lions Austrian Traiskirchen first, and later at De Vizia Scandone Avellino Italian. Facing the season 02/03 chose to remain in Italy to play in the Vip Rimini, although that campaign ended up disputing the play-offs to stay in the LEB with CAI Zaragoza. Repeated next year with the team skill, while in the 04/05 season made the jump to the ACB (provided by your own CAI) from the hand of Lagún Aro Bilbao. Finally, in the past two seasons has played in the League LEB with CB Calpe (05/06) and the Milk River Breogán (06/07).

is a comprehensive database which had the speed of your game, the claw prints all his actions and character usually transmitted winner Argentines. A good ball handling launch an acceptable external links, but is a player who prefers to score in transition (counter) rather than static, especially breaking power and ability to the basket rival. It takes a few seasons of not over exploit the good manners that aim. In recent times it is showing very irregular, alternating major parties with others that disappears completely. Furthermore, and although it has conditions to do well, not of those who kill much on defense, to the chagrin of his coaches. Should take this opportunity to prove he can still compete at the highest level LEB, especially after their slack seasons in Calpe and Lugo ...


13 # Vallmajó Xavi: Barcelona base of 32 years and 1 , 82 meters high. Emerging from the lower divisions of Adepaf Figueras, played until 1997 with them in the 1 st Division Autonomous. In that year was signed by CB Girona, giving him the chance to play several seasons in the ACB League (97/03). In the 03/04 season made landfall in the ranks of Gijón Basketball (LEB), team he played for two seasons (03/05), and a year later did in the ranks of Palma Aqua Mágica (LEB). Last season he defended the colors of Plus Pujol Lleida (LEB), the computer from which land has reached North Africa.

While not the owner, Vallmajó has enough quality to take on the leadership team for several minutes. He has experience and character to be just one of the team leaders. Player great physical strength, always prints a high rate of their actions, making it a suitable base fast transitions, while not at odds heading into static. Good defense, correct reading of the game allows you to steal many balls thanks to his sense of anticipation. Has good ball skills and is a great passer, and a very good shooter from the perimeter, though his favorite play is to play against his marker 1x1. No problems, if the occasion arises, in play big shots ...



PERIMETER:


5 # Rafa Huertas : Malaga escort 23 years old and 1.89 meters tall. He trained as a prolific player in the quarry Unicaja, from where he arrived on loan at CB Caceres (LEB) in the 04/05 season. After a year in the league EBA with CB Montilla, played last season with the Lliria Cibo in the LEB-2, a category that proved good enough quality to make the jump to the LEB.

is a versatile player, as throughout his career has alternated between the positions of "1" and "2." Melilla reaches a bet Paco Olmos technical staff. His speed and good ball skills are its greatest assets and they could shoot and pass with remarkable efficiency. Very intense and sacrificed in defense. The main challenge will be to give quality minutes to your computer when Juanmi Garcia needs to get some air on the bench. It's still a young player with a great capacity for improvement, so this season will serve as learning to take her pulse back to a category you already know.


15 # Josemi García : Valencia escort 28 years old and 1.92 meters high basketball grew in the ranks of Pamesa Valencia, where he went on loan to the 97/98 season New Aragon (Liga EBA). However, where you actually released as a player was in Gandia Basket, where he played no fewer than five seasons (98/03) in both EBA and in LEB-2. Came to Melilla in 2003 from just the Aguas de Valencia-Gandía (LEB-2), team that managed to enter that year in the quintet ideal of the category.

Undoubtedly, Josemi must be one of the players to stop by the defense of the UB, as it is one of the great references of Melilla in attack. Endowed with a great technical foundation and a good ball skills, is excellent in one on one and also happens to be a great shooter from the line of 6.25 (good percentages without abusing them). Runs the court well and has a remarkable ability to start their advocates fault and go frequently to the free throw line. It is a tireless fighter, very gallant in defense, and never gives the party lost. It is the team captain.


4 # Spencer Gloger : natural American forward from Mission Viejo (California), at 2.03 meters tall and 25 years old this summer has come to Melilla from the CB Calpe (LEB -2). He trained initially as a player at the University of Princeton (NCAA) where after a good season (99/00), decided to sign for the prestigious UCLA University (NCAA), which earned him a one year suspension. Finally he returned to Princeton and end the "Bruins" his college tour (01/03). His first professional experience was in the ACB League, which came from the hand of Akasvayu Girona in the 05/06 campaign for a few months to replace Anthony Peeler, so surprised that many months later end up in the LEB -2 with the CB Calpe, he helped save from relegation.

may be one of the surprises of this Liga LEB. It's a great perimeter shooter, shot two goals in as triples, although sometimes their rates are not the best. Comes with the difficult task of making Winchester forget, so that their performance will be essential to fulfill the objectives of his new team. It is a quality player with a good knowledge of the game and used to plunge the responsibility at critical moments. It is also a good defender and always lends a hand on the rebound taking advantage of his physical. Among its shortcomings as a player, I must say it has many problems with free throws.


7 # Juanma Ruiz : Cadiz eaves height of 2.00 meters and 29 years old, emerged from the lower divisions of Unicaja Malaga. After playing four years at the EBA (J. Rule, Unicaja and Linense himself), debuted in 2000 in the LEB-2 with CB Linense. After a season in the LEB League (Ciudad de Huelva), in the 02/03 season he signed for CB Ciudad de Algeciras (LEB-2) and was instrumental in the rise set of Cadiz to the LEB. Following the demise of the entity Algeciras went to Palma Aqua Mágica (LEB) in the year 05/06. Last year he returned to Cadiz to enlist in the Villa de Los Barrios (LEB), the computer from which this summer has come to the table Melilla.

is a high wing that is very damaging for his versatility. Endowed with good technical background, or divide enters and pulls with ease and efficiency. His shooting mechanics are almost perfect, ideal to open any defense from the perimeter. It is very smart and rarely makes mistakes in bulk. In the track makes a bit of everything (points, rebounds, recovery, defense ...), but it's strange Under ensure that their work goes unnoticed. They say that he also has a great human qualities, those who help make costumes pineapple, and possibly the good character prevented it from reaching further, although he lacks ambition to Cadiz ... In short, a great team player, a player such that each technician would be forever in your template.



GAME INSIDE:


14 # Nacho Romero : a true "center" with its 2.12 meters tall. At 34 years, the "goat" most famous National Basketball long been known in this basketball world, even in his day he met Honeys full international. Formed in the ranks of Real Madrid, played eight seasons in the ACB: Real Madrid (93/94), Caja San Fernando (96/01) and Caprabo Lleida (01/02), which must be added the two played in the EBA with the Royal Canoe (94/96). In 2002 he moved to Portugal to play in Aveiro, but eventually returned to Spain to finish the season with the CB Tarragona (LEB). In the 03/04 season came to Algeciras as one of the hottest signings of the LEB, but ultimately did not respond fully to the expectations placed on him. Season Next (04/05) decided to cross the Strait and signed by the Melilla, the team will face its fourth season.

Romero is a pivot atypical intimidating and rebounding in the area, but also likes to play much outside the paint and use good outside shot, even from beyond the line of 6.25. Despite its height the court runs smoothly and is not strange to see him finish a counterattack of his team. With his size intimidates much in your basket (caps) and may rebound in the two areas. If you are motivated and injury free is one that can still create problems for the rival, although the age and physical and are not old and it shows in their performance. Is fully identified with the Club and the city, its importance within the team goes beyond the court, being next to Josemi Garcia the other "boss" of clothing Melilla ...


11 # Sasa Zagorac : young Slovenian power forward 23 years old and 2.06 meters high. Formed in the lower categories of Olimpija Ljubljana, left his country in the 04/05 season to play in Austria with the Kapfenberg Bulls. Last year he led the Postojna Slovene Postojnska 18.8 points and 5.3 rebounds per game. Last year was tested in the DKV Joventut and played in the World Cup with your choice Sub'21 national. This year the Circuit Sub'20 played with FC Barcelona played in Valencia and later the Pepsi Pro Summer League in Orlando with the New Jersey Nets. Arrived at Melilla last season in place of Edward Santana. Initially signed a one-month temporary contract with an option to be extended, but its good performance (and adaptation) allowed him to continue in all North African and be renewed for this season.

for now is more than one player for the future rather than a reality, but has proven to be able to compete in the LEB to good level. Has good potential to go far in basketball, a player is tall, well coordinated and with great technical merits, but has yet to gain experience and polish some aspects of his game. He is a player gifted with a good hand to the shot, in fact I like to play open and shoot from the perimeter, especially triples. In the painting knows how to use their large scale load rebound in both baskets and put more of a plug. Talent, ambition, intensity ... Do not lose sight.


10 # Antxon Iturbe : Vitoria player 28 years old and 2.03 meters tall. After playing one year at St. Johns High School (96/97), was recruited by George Washington University (NCAA), where he completed four-year cycle (97/01). In 2001 he returned to Spain and ever since he played in the ranks of Gijón Farho Heaters (ACB and LEB) until last season, when the set came down to gijonés LEB-2. Despite their current contract, the player chose to accept the offer of Melilla and continue playing in La Liga LEB.

is a player of great natural ability and that the track makes a big work wear on opponents. Knows how to move well inside the area and has a great vision for the pass, especially since the high post. On offense does not hesitate to get his defender in the paint to break then drive to the basket and using their speed and power physics. If you float can shoot from outside, even 3 points. Applies hard on defense, which is always a basic part, and transmitting the character to his fellow winner ...


12 # Michael Southall : pivot 25 years old and 2.10 meters height who arrived last summer at the university directly from Melilla. After being a major player in High-School in 2000 was about to enter the NCAA's hand at the University of Kentucky. However, this year was arrested for use and possession of marijuana, which he supposed to be sentenced to one year in jail. Subsequently, the University of Georgia Tech offered to enter into their school curriculum since 2001, but again problems with the police prevented him from playing. This time he was sentenced to three years probation and enrolled in 2002 at Louisiana-Lafayette University (NCAA), where he remained until 2006, but spent two years in white various academic problems. But his problems, this time sporting, did not end there: first destination in Europe was the Patron AEP Greek Olympics, but last minute problems with his contract led him to call at the Melilla replacing the injured Demba M'Bengue.

reference The great inside game Melilla. You should confirm the great performance offered in the LEB Last season, which at times became one of the best centers for the category. This year, with the experience that gives to know the city and the club, it is expected that their contribution will increase further. This is a "center" that can impose his size in the paint, so defense, intimidation and rebounds are guaranteed. It is a good scorer thanks to his mastery of the game in the positions close to the basket, finishing many actions with mates. Despite his height is a player physically coordinated and worked well. Understands the game and knows attend his teammates when the defense closed on him. Awful from the free throw line ...


TRAINER:

Paco Olmos, Valencia Technical born 37 years ago and faces his 1 st season in the North African table. His experience in the LEB is notable because it has led to Drac Inca (99/00), Ciudad de Huelva (00/01), CB Los Barrios (01/02) and CB Calpe (05/06). He also had the opportunity to lead for two seasons (02/04) in the ACB to Pamesa Valencia. Face the challenge of returning to basketball Melilla about play-offs after five seasons of drought. "



OTHER PLAYERS USED DURING THE SEASON:


6 # Alfons Albert : Valencia pivot 34 years old and 2.10 meters height has played the last two seasons in the ranks of UB La Palma. Formed in the lower categories of Joventut Badalona, \u200b\u200bwith whom he played two seasons (95/97) in the ACB. After a year in Ourense (97/98), in 1998 he transferred to Pamesa Valencia (ACB), where it remains until the season 02/03, when he joined Breogán Lugo (02/03). After his stay in Galicia, Albert decides to leave Greece to play basketball in the Kolossos Rhodes, which offers great performance that is interrupted by failing a drug test. However, the counter-analysis showed the player's innocence and was acquitted of the charge, joining the UB La Palma (LEB) in December 2005.

has come to Melilla to contribute experience and, above all, strong presence in the paint. As demonstrated in La Palma, Albert is a power forward if you have confidence and respect of the injury can be a leader in the indoor game. His physique and his size allows it to bounce with competence in both baskets, and intensity will lead to even more of an effort to catch a rebound. In attack moves very well in the low post, especially pivoting to his left and then throw a hand. In defense has no trouble pairing with any rival, even American big and strong, which does not let him win the position and allowed easy shots. His biggest handicap and are his age and ailing back, as well Olmos will be weighed to extract their best performance ...
