After Pepe Pozas, Dairis Bertans. Coosur Betis has just announced a principle of agreement, at the expense of the medical examination, with the 31-year-old 1.93-meter Latvian international escort who has previous experience in the ACB, having spent three seasons in Bilbao Basket, in the Euroleague and in the NBA with the Pelicans. Although the green-and-white club part of a very tight budget, is aiming as high as it can in terms of hiring and the example is the signing of Bertans, proven player, with points in his hands and knowledge of the game that should also provide leadership to Joan Plaza’s team on the court after the departure of such an important player in the perimeter score as James Feldeine.
Bertans, partner in your selection of Kristaps Porzingis, knows the ACB very well since in the Bilbao Basket militated between 2013 and 2016, before making the leap to larger companies, to the next level that the Old Continent always means Euroleague. It was precisely the Basque team that had the player’s rights in the Endesa League, a stumbling block that had to be solved in the negotiation so that the Latvian could wear green and white next year.
In his three-year period in Bilbao he averaged 11 points in 25 minutes of play with 36.7 percent in the triple. After his departure from the Endesa League, he tried a season in the Darussafaka Turkish, spent two seasons in the Armani Milan and two others, the last ones, in the Khimki, in Moscow, with which this last year he has signed 5.3 points and almost 35 percent in the outside shot in 20 games played in the Euroleague.
Coosur Betis has also concluded agreements with Shannon Evans, Khadeen Carrington and Beka Burjanadze, who will also join the project. The players have to be in Seville on August 5 to start the round of medical examinations before the start of the preseason four days later. With Bertans there are already six officially on the payroll. The Baltic joins Pozas, Mike Torres, Almazán, Magassa and Spiers.
