“I want to take advantage of this opportunity”

Obi Megwa was presented as a new player for the Círculo at a ceremony held at noon yesterday at El Llagar de Begoña, one of the sponsors of the Gijon club. The US guard with a Nigerian passport declared himself “a very competitive player. I prioritize the team over the individual, but I can do many things, even playing shooting guard if necessary. For his part, Nacho Galán defined the former Northwest Nazarene player as “the piece we were looking for for the base position”, a man who comes to help Anthony Libroia as the organizer of the Negro game. Not in vain the coach of the Circle highlighted his new pupil his speed, his offensive ability and his ease to associate with his teammates.

The point guard, a native of Phoenix, stressed the illusion he has after spending two years without competing: “I really want to play and take advantage of this opportunity.” Obi Megwa is expected to make his debut this Saturday in the match that measures the Gijon team with Enerparking Navarra. He is waiting for the transfer from the United States to arrive on time, although he is optimistic about it.

The break that LEB Plata has suffered through the FIBA ​​windows has been very good for the Circle squad to recharge after the last defeat. In addition, Álex Rivas and Álex Esteban, who had physical problems in the last league game played in Morón, have accelerated their recovery process, so they should be from the game against the Navarrese team.
