After the defeat in Logroño, which stung a lot due to the poor performance offered by the team, the Real Betis Basketball activated the search three players in the market and especially that of a point guard who was capable of giving the green and white team everything it needs on the court in the command position: making correct decisions, order and scoring. In these first two days, the three men who can alternate in that position and, furthermore, on the Clavijo field have not performed as expected. Caio Pacheco injured his right anklewho had shown himself, even lacking shooting accuracy, as the most physical player on the perimeter, capable of giving a lot of verticality to the attacks.
Betis, in any case, needed another record for the direction of the game and with this objective they have chosen Jordan Barnesa 26-year-old American point guard born in Missouri who has played in the German Pro A for the last two seasons, the second division of the German country. Trained at Indiana State Universitythe new Betic player stood out last season in the ranks of the Giessen 46ers, with averages of 17 points, 3 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 1.4 steals and 44 percent outside shooting playing about 34 minutes per game. He was, statistically, the best player on his team and also one of the most outstanding in said competition. In his rookie year in Germany, the American practically copied those numbers. He then played for Uni Baskets Padeborn, scoring 17.8 points, 4 sacks, 6.5 assists, 1.2 recoveries and 38 percent shooting from three.
He is also very reliable from the free kick, something that Betis will appreciate taking into account the discreet percentage of 4.60 that he achieved against Clavijo. In fact, despite his poor performance in general terms, if he had been more correct in his luck he would have taken the victory. Barnes is a 1.78 meter point guard (some websites put his height at 1.80 meters), with the qualities typical of this type of metronome. He is quick in transitions and also agile with his hands in defense, as highlighted on specialized websites. He can finish on baskets after penetrations, create his own shots and also score after blocking. The repertoire shown in the second German category is extensive and now they will have to transfer it to this competitive LEB Oro where Betis, for now, does not know victory in the first two days.
