Because the American, with a Ghanaian passport, has added the first MVP of his national career this weekend in a match in Ponferrada in which victory escaped in the final moments.
After two weeks seeing how the MVP of the day was on the other side of the track, this time, The Old CB Tormes has served as the leading group of the great individual award of the weekend. An award that has gone to the figure of one of the men who most attracted attention during the summer market, a Bright Mensah who was returning to basketball after a year of personal hiatus to take over the management of the Salamanca team.
A whole combo willing to recover its best version as it has shown in a start to the season that has resulted in an MVP based on 36 valuation points which, however, were not entirely enough for his team to prevail in Ponferrada. Despite this, his 35 points (6/8 TL and 12/21TC), 5 rebounds, 1 assist, 4 recoveries and 8 fouls received They represent the best seed for a future in which the Salamanca team will continue working to establish their project in the category.
