The difficult fit of ‘discharging’ to sign at Betis Basketball

As he has been accustomed to in recent seasons, Betis Basketball must sign to fix an unbalanced squad with which it is impossible to walk with certain guarantees by the ACB. A leading point guard and pivot are the basic needs of any team to compete in the Endesa League. The verdiblanco box fulfills it with Shannon Evans as game director, but an internal reference is missing that unbalances the team and has it at the bottom of the classification.

A problem that is not new and that was glimpsed in the summer when the sports management and the technical secretariat made the squad. Nzosa, Gerun and a four and a half as Sylla and they are going to occupy the position of five: little experience and limited physique and quality, as is being demonstrated. the greek arrived Tsalmpouris to cover the loss of the ever-injured Nzosa, but the Greek has the soul of an escort and likes to play on the perimeter more than to hit the hoops. His outside success serves as a resource, but a 2.16-meter player must fight more in the paint.



To top, baez drags physical problems almost from the beginning of the season and the level of Rodions Kuruc It is not being what was expected when he arrived in Seville from a Belgrade Partizan in which Obradovic already realized that the Latvian was not going to take the expected step forward.

The fact is that Betis Basketball needs, once again, to put its inner game back together and that happens by taking a casualty. But who? There is the problem. Because There are 13 players and with Nzosa’s injury we have to keep the other four training placeswhose contribution is limited: pozas, Paul Warehouse, Kurucs and Sylla.

Eight remain, including two from outside the community: a forward as BJ Johnson y Jeremiah Hill, perhaps the most logical option to expand the transfer market and seeing that his game is stepped on with that of Evans, since both are players who need to amass a lot of ball possession. But Cut an outsider to sign an insider? Strange movement, given that the day Nzosa recovered there would be an excessive number of pivots and reversing the Congolese loan seems complicated, since Unicaja is not interested.

baez it’s the only one four Along with Kurucs and, despite his seniority, on his way to turning 41 next March, he acts as glue in the dressing room and is a necessary profile. BertansDespite his poor shooting percentage, he is the starting guard and it is not in the plans to point him out either, while Cvetkovic He is a reliable player with whom not much money would be released to undertake the necessary arrival.

Another option, which the club would not object to, is a departure from Evans. Saving his record plus the payment for his departure would free up a significant salary mass with which to sign, but in sports the team would suffer a loss that is difficult to compensate, although Yes, it would allow to balance accounts, an obsession in the club almost at the level of achieving permanence.

The truth is that Betis Basketball needs to change the squad, which requires cuts and some economic effort as they have done in Zaragoza, Fuenlabrada or Manresa, other teams involved in the lower zone that have already signed to try to take a step forward that, for the moment, in San Pablo, is next door, waiting for some miracle.
