After the departure of Finals MVP Yago Mateus dos Santos and Bruno Cabocclo, the new German basketball champion ratiopharm Ulm is once again relying on a Brazilian. George Lucas Alves de Paula, called Georginho, comes from his homeland from the Sesi Franca club. Like dos Santos, the 27-year-old plays in the point guard position.
“Since all the Brazilians have hit the ground running with us so far, it makes sense to continue to keep an eye on this market. His physical condition is impressive, his possible uses are very variable,” said sports director Thorsten Leibenath about the new signing.
Georginho got the treble with Franca this year. The club were champions and cup winners in Brazil, as well as winning the South American Champions League. In 2021, Cristiano Felicio, a Brazilian from the Chicago Bulls from the NBA, moved to Ulm for a season.
