Argentinian keep training under the orders of Juan Varas in preseason, thinking about him Super 20 Tournament. El Turco will start against Ferro on September 24 and that is why he is already advancing the offensive and defensive rules.
Physical jobs
Under the command of Mauro Ilacqua, the first weeks of the Turkish squad were full of physical exercises, both in the gym and on the court. These last days, Varas was much more active formulating the offensive parameters that will accompany the team throughout the Super 20.
Wait for the stranger
McKey will arrive in the next few days, Democracia found out. Meanwhile, Varas thinks of Cangelosi in the Pivot wing position. Cardo would be the natural replacement, while Alderete and Filipetti will fight for the place and the minutes with the brand new foreigner. Argentino trained these days at the stadium of the Atlético Sarmiento club, since the Fort will be used for a political event.
The friendlies are coming
Argentino is thinking of playing a friendly with Racing de Chivilcoy. It could be the 19th or 20th of this month. He has no urgency to play more because, according to Varas, the Super 20 will serve as a good test.
Davis arrives at Regattas
The leadership of the Club de Regatas Corrientes closed the hiring of a new reinforcement for the 2021/22 season. It is about the American intern William Davis II, who is the last piece missing from the “rower” cast.
In this way, the squad led by Gabriel Piccato completed their team. Now, we will have to wait for the arrival of Davis and for the arrival of his compatriot Skyler Hogan, who has not yet joined the training sessions.
William Sidney Davis II is a pivot born in California, United States, on November 9, 1992 (28 years old) of 2.05 m. When analyzing the player, the coach commented that he is “a reliable one-on-one defender, who can run the field in attack and also play without the ball, which will help us improve the team’s game.”
In his formative career, Davis played four seasons in the Anteaters at the University of California at Irvine, in which he averaged 10.4 points, 6.4 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game.
He was voted Big West Conference Defensive Player of the Year in 2013 after leading the conference in blocks, with 2.3 per game, and included in the best quintet of the conference in 2015, the year in which he was also awarded the award for best player of the tournament.
Later, he appeared in the 2015 NBA Draft, but was not drafted. Then that same year, in August, he signed his first professional contract with Kolossos Rodou BC of the Greek league. There he played a season in which he averaged 7.0 points and 4.0 rebounds per game.
On October 30, 2016, he was chosen in the sixth position of the second round of the NBA D-League Draft by the Reno Bighorns, a team affiliated with the Sacramento Kings, with whom he signed a contract. He went through the Chicago Bulls affiliate team, the Windy City Bulls, then played for teams from Cyprus, United Arab Emirates, and returned to his native country to play for the Brooklyn Nets (Long Island) affiliate team.
In 2019, he signed a contract with Steaua Bucuresti of Romania, where he has been playing until today. In February of this year, he had the opportunity to play for the national team in a FIBA Windows game against Mexico, where he scored 10 points and grabbed 5 rebounds. In this way, the inmate arrives to reinforce the painted area of the “ghost” club.
Former NBA in Peñarol
Peñarol already has its first foreigner for the following National League season. This is Al Thornton, who comes from playing and being a protagonist in Aguada de Uruguay, where he averaged 10.8 points and 4.9 rebounds in 21.5 minutes during the eight games.
The 37-year-old, 2m 03 player was part of Salta Basket in the National League in the 17-18 season. He played 15 games, where he averaged 14.4 ppi, 36% in triples, 4.0 rpi and 0.7 app. It is an all-rounder around the world. He played for Brujos de Gauayama from Puerto Rico in two cycles, and Zhejiang Lions from China (both, 2012); NLEX Road Warriors and Mighty Sports of the Philippines (2015/2016); Shumane Susanoo Magic from Japan (2018) until his arrival in Aguada from Uruguay in the 2018/19 season.
It has its good NBA past. In mid-2007 he was selected by the Los Angeles Clippers in the 14th position of the draft. He finished the season averaging 12.7 points and 4.5 rebounds, which led to him being included in the best rookie team of the season. After two seasons there, he was traded in a three-cushion trade where he landed at the Washington Wizards at 10-11. He was cut from the team (he only played 49 games) and eventually fell back to the Golden State Warriors playing 21 games until April 13, 2011.
