However, the Mallorcan box seemed to have no intention of returning the space to its owner last year of rigor and the matter ended in court. Even Julio Galvez agreed, two months later, with the CB Badajoz to cede the first place "rented" to the CB Alcudia.

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. That year he jumped to the LEB to play for Drac Inca but things did not go well and the season 02/03 returned to the EBA with the CB Monzón. In the 03/04 campaign left the WTC Cornella (LEB-2) and a year later ended up in the ranks of CB Hospitalet. Faces his first season with the GPA.
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. Shows great intensity in his game, sometimes even in excess of impulsive Err on the track. Special counsel, physical ability allows you to dial up always at your opponent.

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 ...
TRAINER:
Eloy Twelve , technical born in Gijón (Asturias) for 38 years and facing his 2nd experience at the head of the table Mallorca after replacing just two weeks ago Angel Colino.

OTHER PLAYERS USED DURING THE SEASON:
13 # José María Balmon : power forward 26 years old and 2.03 meters high, has reached the PAM makes little weeks to enhance the indoor game. Hardly needs an introduction, as he played in the ranks of UB La Palma in the team's debut year in the LEB (03/04). Born in Madrid, was formed as a player in the lower divisions of Alcalá, where he jumped into the ranks of students, whose team arrived EBA the military for two seasons (00/02). In 2003 he joined the Universidad Complutense (LEB), the computer on which coincided with Andre Turner and where caught on a great season. The possible demise of the university complex arrival to our island. The 04/05 campaign was initiated in the CB Murcia (LEB), but the lack of minutes it took to move out during the winter break after joining the CB Plasencia (LEB), whose shirt out during two seasons. 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. If you have time to arm, can also convert triple front with good percentages. With confidence and minutes can make some very good numbers ...
15 # Jarrius Jackson : escort American (born in Monroe, LA) of 1.85 meters tall and 22 years of age. Trained at the Ouachita High School, was drafted in the 03/04 season by Texas Tech University (NCAA), directed by the legendary Bobby Knight, where he finished his college journey with averages over 20 points in his last two years career.

In 2007 has been a finalist for the prestigious trophy "John Wooden Award, which honors the best university in the country.
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. Is joven y tiene cosas que mejorar, pero puede ser una de las revelaciones de la liga a poco que le acompañe la suerte y pueda mostrar lo mejor de su juego...
4 # Lou Roe : ala-pívot norteamericano (nació en Atlantic City, New Jersey) de 35 años de edad y 2,01 metros de estatura que firmó por el PAM a mediados de la pasada temporada y ha decidido renovar de cara a la presente. Formado en la Universidad de Massachussets (91/95), jugó dos temporadas en la NBA con Detroit Pistons y Golden State Warriors. La temporada 97/98 llegó a España de la mano de Unicaja de Málaga para, posteriormente, recalar en en el Poli Cantú de la A1 italiana. La campaña 99/00 tries to return to the NBA with Minnesota but just disputing the CBA with the Quad City until, in March, signed for Drac Inca of the LEB. Return to the ACB in the ranks of newly-promoted Gijon stayed there two seasons (00/02), being elected in the first one MVP of the league. In October 2002, replacing John Williams in the ethos Alicante where he played until the end of the season 04/03.
reaches the Caja San Fernando Sevilla ahead of the 04/05 season where he is confirmed as one of the most dominant players in the league. Last season he played his last season in the ACB, also Caja San Fernando, while this season has played so far in the Korean League Seoul SK Knights. Lou Roe has been capped with the United States at the Goodwill Games (1994) and career highlights its 19 nominations CBA Player of the week, its 9 times World Player of the Month and the MVP award of the season 00/01.
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. In court absorbs a lot of game (very individualistic at times) and the defense is not to "leave the skin" precisely. With a tab, including awards could reach 600,000 euros, it is clear that Roe is the pillar around which was built this project Palma. Possibly the best player in the category ...
