Ondrej Hanzlik (2’00 m) is the seventh addition to Basketball Girona for the 2022/23 season. Formed at Sparta Prague, he has played on loan for the last two seasons at Juaristi ISB, achieving the promotion from Leb Plata to LEB Or in the 20-21 season and signing an average of 10.4 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1 ‘5 assists in 33 games last year. The young Czech escort (Prague, 2002) arrives on loan from Baskonia, where he arrived in 2016, at the age of 14, as one of Vitoria’s promising youngsters, and has just played in the U-20 European Championship with his team.
The player evaluates his arrival like this: “I am very grateful that a club like Básquet Girona has given me the opportunity to continue growing. It’s a dream come true. Since they gave me the news, I’ve been very excited and really looking forward to starting work and contributing to the team as much as I can.”
Jordi Plà, the club’s sports director, was also happy: “Ondrej Hanzlik is a young player with immediate potential, with great ability in the 3-point shot. He has good knowledge of the game and great physical talent. We are happy and grateful for Baskonia’s trust in us by giving us the player.”
