After the arrival of Juan Jose Garcia, Aix-Maurienne Savoie Basket made official on Monday August 2 the signing of another Dominican international, Dagoberto Pena (1.98 m, 33 years old). This experienced rear / winger, excellent shooter and handsome athlete, played in Leyma La Coruna, in the Spanish second division last season, where he compiled 9.9 points with 42.6% of success on shots, of which 34.5% at 3-points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 20 minutes for 26 games.
Member of the Dominican Republican at the 2019 World Cup, in China, the native of Santo Domingo has a CV referenced in the Spanish championship. He notably distinguished himself during the 2016-2017 season, with the Barcelona reserve, in Lega Oro (17.5 points to 46.8% on shots, including 37.1% at 3-points in matches played). Such statistics prompted the Estudiantes (2017 to 2019) to enlist him. But in the elite of Iberian basketball, he was never able to express himself. After a one-year exile in Lithuania, in Pieno Zvaigzdes, he returned to Spain for the last two seasons.
