7 New Faces of Asisa Joventut for 26/27 Season Roster

Meet the New Crew!

Guess what, basketball fans? Asisa Joventut is shaking things up with a brand new roster! Head coach Dani Miret is set to lead his fresh squad into battle this season. Just as they’re gearing up for the Liga Catalana, they’ve snagged Eli John Ndiaye to add some spice to that interior rotation. This brings their total signings to a whopping seven, culminating in a solid lineup of 12 players ready to rock the Basketball Champions League!

What’s the Game Plan?

The verdinegro team (that’s the green and black, if you will) has been hard at work this offseason, focusing their scouting on two key positions: shooting guards and power forwards. And hold onto your hats—none of the guys from last year are sticking around in those slots. Six out of the seven new signings are joining the mix!

Bringing Back Familiar Faces

First up to steal the spotlight in the shooting guard spot is none other than Nico Laprovittola. Yes, you heard that right! He’s back in the verdinegro colors after his time at Barça. So, prepare for lots of three-pointers and dramatic ball handling as he teams up with the flashy Boogie Ellis, a globetrotter who’s had stints in places like Alba Berlin, Galatasaray, and Dubai Basketball. Talk about international flair!

New Blood at Small Forward

Next, let’s talk about the small forward position. The main attraction here is Álex Reyes, fresh off an impressive season with the Kids&Us Manresa. He was no slouch last year, racking up an average of 12.6 points and 4.7 rebounds with a sweet 39% from behind the arc. Pair him up with Isaac Nogués, who’s versatile enough to play both the 2 and 3 positions, and watch out! It’s going to be a show.

Powering Up the Paint

Now let’s not forget about the big boys down low. The new recruits for the interior game come with some serious experience in the Liga Endesa. Only Emir Sulejmanovic has been playing in Spain last season, but he’s ready to bring his 6.4 points and 4.4 rebounds to the forefront. Kwam Cheatham is back in Spain after a two-year adventure in Italy, boasting 11.9 points and 4.4 rebounds from last year. And last but not least, Eli John Ndiaye is on loan from Real Madrid, hoping to bolster the interior game after a rough patch due to injuries in the U.S.

The Final Roster

So, what does Dani Miret’s rotation look like for the 26/27 season? Here’s the lineup:

Rubio – Hakanson
Laprovittola – Ellis – Nogués
Reyes – Kraag
Cheatham – Sulejmanovic – Ndiaye
Tomic – Birgander
