The Club was founded in May 2001 when the County Council proposed to the Donostia businessman Miguel Santos lead a project that would allow the city to recover the cestista splendor of the past, when the legendary Askatuak activist in the pinnacle of basketball. Santos decided to take the challenge and sought the help of Gipuzkoa basketball people (former players and managers), profiled in a few days the birth of a Club that, as expected, was supported by the institutions. That same year asked the FEB a place in the newly created League LEB-2, which was granted. At that military equipment players like Ivan Humanes, Demetris Montgomery, Juan Pedro Cazorla, Iker Ibarrola or a very young Jon Santamaria.
However, Despite saving and category (eleventh finished with a record of 13-17), economic problems forced him to resign his seat in the LEB-2 and the team left to compete until 2004, when he regained his place in LEB-2. Looking to the 04/05 campaign designed a computer with ambitions to rise to the LEB, but in the play-offs came across a plethora Canary CB was able to leave on the way they battled back from 1-2 in favor of Donostia box. The economic turmoil during the summer of 2005 affected several clubs made LEB GBC leaders were raised federative rights seriously buy one of the struggling clubs. Finally, it was the City Algeciras, which ended up giving up his place to club Miguel Santos, the same season, could ascend to the ACB so as surprising as it deserves. After one season with the best, of San Sebastian fell back to the LEB.

BASES:
6 # Ricardo Úriz : base navarro 27 years old and 1.88 meters in height facing his fourth consecutive season in the Bruesa-GBC. Formed in the lower categories of TAU Baskonia, his first steps in the National Basketball gave the Alvecón Marist (1997-2000, EBA), linked to the company team Vitoria. In 1998 he made his debut in the ACB with TAU. The minutes need to continue growing in 2001 led him to play in the LEB with CB Los Barrios. The following year he jumped to the ACB of the hand of the Forum of Valladolid, where his role was testimonial, and the season 02/03 returned to the LEB with CAI Zaragoza. 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. Educated at Western Michigan University, his career is cestista land has been specially developed in UK: London Leopards (00/02), Essex & Herts Leopards London (02/03) and London Towers (03/05), from which the club reached the LEB to play for Drac Inca season 05/06. 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). Then he played two seasons in the EBA itself with CB Monzón, before being captured by the then Caprabo Lleida, with the first template was even debut in the ACB in December 2003. In the 04/05 campaign he went on loan to Melilla (LEB), which took minutes and was able to demonstrate their conditions, which enabled him to return to the Plus Pujol Lleida (Liga LEB) for the year 05/06, but ended the season on loan in the ranks of Akasvayu Vic LEB-2, which averaged nearly 10 points and more than 2 rebounds per game. 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. In the 03/04 season came to CB Huelva, team that became one of the sensations of the LEB (national player). 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. In 2000 signed by Los Angeles Lakers (NBA), but was cut without reaching debut and returned to the New Mexico Slam. A year later temporarily signed twice by the Atlanta Hawks (NBA), with which only came to play a game. In the 01/02 season coming to Europe to do battle in the Pastificio Di Nola Napoli Italian. After playing 18 games is cut down and returns home to play with the Dakota Wizards (CBA). In March 2003, arrived in Spain hired by the Casademont Girona (ACB) in place of Veljko Mrsic and his contract is renewed for the following year. 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). Formed in the Unknown Hagerstown Junior College (NJCAA, 92/94), finished his university course at Virginia Commonwealth University (NCAA, 94/96). After a season in the Yakima Sun Kings (CBA), arrived in Spain in the year 97/98 to play in the CB Gran Canaria (ACB). Since then, his site has always been in the top flight of English football: Pamesa Valencia (98/03), Unelco Tenerife (03/05) and Grupo Capitol Valladolid (05/07), before joining this year in the LEB League Bruesa hand GBC.
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 ...
