Ricky Rubio, the Gasol brothers or even Sergio Rodriguez are not there or no longer there, and Rudy Fernandez or Sergio Llull are no longer the players they once were, but theSpain remains a formidable winning machine. His coronation at the last Eurobasket thus demonstrated it, with a new generation.
From now on, in addition to the Hernangomez brothers, brilliant a year ago, one of the jewels of the “Roja” is called Santi Aldama. The only “NBAer” in Sergio Scariolo’s squad, the interior of the Grizzlies comes off the bench like in the NBA and brings 11.5 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.5 against average since the start of the tournament (22 minutes).
Interesting rotational productivity from Juancho and Willy Hernangomez, all in line with his good second year on the Memphis side (9.0 points and 4.8 rebounds).
” [Le fait de] work all year, play important minutes and stay ready. I think that was the key to my season with the Grizzlies. », he answers, when discussing the importance of this 2022/23 season in its development. ” Then I worked all summer until I got there. »
” Glad to be with [ses] teammates », for his first major competition in A, Santi Aldama takes great pleasure in evolving within this Spanish collective which continues to delight, and above all win, on the international scene. A habit for many years now and which he hopes will not disappear…
” The victorious aspect is secondary. The culture here is really good and I think that’s what makes this team a winning team. This is what we have to build on. We work very hard every day and we have to keep doing that, let it show in our game. “, explains the 30th choice of the Draft 2021.
