As mentioned, his last team was the Bruesa Gipuzkoa (ACB). In the record-breaking season 02/03 the legendary Epi in free throw percentage with an incredible 98% efficiency.
is called to be one of the largest bases in the category. Has the experience and knowledge of the game needed to hold the reins of a team with high aspirations as Breogán, so it will be vital cog in Paco Garcia schemes. Class player, has great skills in the direction of play. Very fast, likes rapid transitions, which can end with a race suspension. In static attack has many resources, such as your great shot from beyond 6.25, or use their speed to dribble and penetrate removing the basket or the lack of defense. It's very comprehensive, can stand as a scorer or create game for his teammates. In defense has improved over the years, looking much steal, which sometimes has trouble charging fouls, and is not very big, yes auque skilled. With a few more inches would have spent several years in the elite, but as this would impact on other aspects of their faculties: the mind-bending speed at which runs almost all his actions ....
9 # Dani López : Salamanca base 25 and 1.85 meters in height that has come this season from the Gijón Breogán Basketball.

Another major bases of the LEB. Should be the perfect complement to the title game, Nacho Ordin. It's a pretty complete player in all facets of the game, and despite being still quite young, and has extensive experience in the category. It has extraordinary physical, very athletic with legs for the sport and make him nearly unstoppable in one-one, and a great defender (has the long arms, which allows the boat difficult to pair and steal many balls). Very explosive in his game, has great penetration and masterfully executed counterattack. References will be one of your team offensive moments of the game, and if it is tuned, can score regularly and very good rates. It is also very aggressive on the rebound. Must demonstrate that it has conditions to stay in a team with aspirations, something that his detractors have always thrown in my face ...
PERIMETER:
4 # Maurice "Mo" Jeffers : forward 28 years old and 1.95 meters in height which was formed in Saint Louis University (NCAA). He was chosen by Sacramento Kings with the number 55 of the Draft but did not debut in the NBA and in recent years has rotated between American and European teams.

In the 04/05 campaign promised the Lion Basketball (LEB) and then starred in the CB L'Hospitalet (06/06), while last year he repeated in the LEB with Plus Pujol Lleida.
is a forward who has earned good reputation for consistent scorer, while it has become one of the classic exterior LEB in recent seasons. 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 ...
7 # Zach Morley : American forward (native of Tennessee) of 2.03 meters and 24 years of age. After passing through the Indian Hills Community College Junior was recruited by the University of Wisconsin (NCAA), where he played two seasons (03/05), averaging 8 points and 5 rebounds.

This summer has landed in Lugo ready to prove their conditions in one of the largest in the category.
was signed to be one of the references of the team. The versatility is one of his greatest qualities, and who can also play "4" without problems, although it has finished adjusting the position of "3" for their ability to play facing the basket. Very complete player on offense, can shoot with accuracy from the perimeter, effectively penetrate or even play the low post, where he asserts his size and good movement. 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. In defense does everything: rebounding in both baskets, retrieve balls, put caps ...
13 # Héctor García : Madrid escort 29 years old and 1.94 meters high, which came two years ago Breogán from Real Madrid. Raised in the lower divisions of white box in 1996 was given up for 2 seasons at Real Canoe (EBA).

His next stop will be the Lucentum Alicante (01/05), team that achieved promotion from the LEB to the ACB and from which it 05/06 season play-off in Real Madrid itself to meet the quota of national players their ranks.
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. Breoganista coach Paco Garcia he appreciates their expertise and work ethic.
8 # Tiras Wade : American forward 27 years old and 2.00 meters high. It has an EU passport, so alien will not take place. At the university level was formed in "East Tennessee State, where he spent two years (01/03).

A year after the player becomes the leader of the "Ragin Cajuns " with 20.3 points and 6.1 rebounds average. His great season makes him worthy of the distinction as a member of Dream Team of the conference, also becomes the 16 th leading scorer throughout the NCAA, so he decides to leave the University to make the leap to the NBA one season before election year. We present the Draft, which is not elected, and ends with contract signing Curtiriso Casale Monferrato in the Italian Lega-Due (05/06). After a brief stint in the French League, he returned to Italy in the 06/07 season after signing for Ignis Castelletto Ticino (Lega-Due). Later played for short-term contracts in Hungary, Venezuela, Dominican Republic and the D-League (Albuquerque), and finally calling in Mexico, specifically in the Pioneers of Cancun, from which team.
is a forward who stands above all for its ability to attack the game. Without being a great athlete, if a player is very strong and tough, which combined with his height and good ball skills allow you to practice a skilled and versatile game. 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. We need some toughness on defense, but on the contrary can be of great help in the rebound. Its performance depends on how fit the team and his new teammates, especially being a player accustomed to plunge a starring role ...
15 # Joao "Betinho Gomes: Portuguese forward (native of Fire Island, Cape Verde) of 1.99 meters high and 22-year-old has joined the team in late February. After seeing him play in the PALOP, 2001, competition Portuguese-speaking countries with the NBA Barrierense convinced his mother to leave the island and was incorporated into the quarry. That summer was about to leave the basketball and volleyball after training to spend several days with Benfica. To date there have been militant in the aforementioned Barrierense, club to which the Cantabria Lobos (LEB) had to pay the buyout clause of the player to gain his services. 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. Defensively shows a great ability to steal balls and physique allows aid intimidate or tap the opponent's shots, but sometimes you relax a little in this aspect. Has legs to defend smaller players and body to pair with high eaves. He is a player with plenty of room for improvement, so his experience should help LEB mature in his game. Great present and better future ...
GAME INSIDE:
16 # Roger Fornás : Barcelona pivot 25 years of age and 2.04 meters that have reached this summer Breo after passing through the CB L'Hospitalet (LEB).

He was then recruited by Caprabo Lleida, which enabled him to play some minutes in the CBA, although the season he spent most of playing in the EBA League, the Cosehisa Monzón (subsidiary of Lleida). His good manners, and the need to further facilitate its growth as a player, led to cede to CB Lleida Tarragona (LEB) in the face of the 04/05 season. During the 05/06 season he played in the Imaje Sabadell Gapsa (EBA), averaging 9.7 points and 5.9 rebounds, numbers that made possible their return to League LEB Hospitalet hand (06/07).
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.

The last campaign was begun in Bruesa GBC (ACB), the computer from which came later to Breogán. 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.

Returning to Spain he enlisted in the ethos Alicante (ACB) in the 04/05 season. 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. In attack a player is rather heavy and slow moving, but has the resources to score if he wins the position near the basket. When you have the occasion, also uses his good hand to pull to 4-5 feet, occasionally even possible making him a triple front.

Breogán has reached this summer to complete the game within the team. He played for Australia in the Mundobasket of Japón'06.
is the tallest player on the staff, a "five" large, well coordinated and able to contribute in various aspects of the game. On offense known for his ability to pull away from the basket thanks to his good hand, you can even leave the area and triple meter with excellent percentages for a player of his height. You can also throw the ball to the ground and dribble to the basket, or play around the basket using its dominance in the footwork to get back and settle with a mate or releasing the ball from one hand. Knows positioned for the rebound and their great size to intimidate opponents shots, so its presence is very important for the team from a defensive standpoint. Seems to have adapted well to the English basketball, but we must also bear in mind that this is a young player with room for improvement ...

Last year he played the prestigious Nike Hoop Summit ", a party that measures to the most promising high school basketball in the U.S. and worldwide. 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.

team has come as a complement to available and effective Paco Garcia on the perimeter. It is characterized as a physical player and quite comprehensive in its characteristics as a player is concerned. Usually plays small forward, although occasionally it may help by playing the low post because of his good looks.
