The problem with the Claretian inner game continues to raise blisters in the sinuses of the CB Gran Canaria coaches. Summer reinforcements to replace Olek Balcerowski, Khalifa Diop and Damien Inglis They are not coming together and only Ben Lammers is being saved from the burning of the league’s start.
Because the question must not only be asked about the direct influence of the players who now make up the Claretian internal team with the arrivals of Ethan Happ, Roko Prkacin and Pierre Pelos in addition to the aforementioned Lammers, otherwise the question lies in the sports management as to whether they signed the suitable players who combine with each other.
Nobody doubts the talent of the players signed by the sports management. This was supported by his numbers last season. Some digits that, for now, are not appearing in the current one defending the interests of the Claretian entity.
Of the five players that make up the inner game of Dreamland, tOnly Lammers is improving his records on the Island compared to what he did with Alba Berlin last season.
The center from San Antonio registered 6.9 points and 4.5 rebounds in 18 minutes on average in the Bundesliga, numbers lower than those he is putting up in the current season under Jaka Lakovic, dado who averages 9.3 points and 3.8 rebounds in the Endesa League; and 9.2 points and 6.2 rebounds in the Eurocup.
His partner in pivot duties, Ethan Happ is being the big disappointment in the six games playedos in the domestic tournament given the relevance he acquired in 2022-23 in the Río Breogán, being the third player with the highest rating in the league with 17.3.
Thus, Lakovic spoke at the end of Wednesday’s continental match against the JL Mincidelice Bourg-en-Bresse with certain doubts about the role of the center, who contributed 9 points and 6 rebounds, but who at the same time conceded quite a few baskets, being the player with whom Gran Canaria conceded the most points with him on the court, -4, in a game in which saw numerous wide sets between the two teams.
“The important thing is that Ethan wants it, he is 100% committed and when he explodes, the whole team will take advantage of it,” highlighted the Slovenian of a player who He has gone from 12.6 points and 7.9 rebounds last season to 7.3 points and 4.3 rebounds in the Endesa League currently; and 7.7 points and 5.7 rebounds in Eurocup.
Same decline, although to a lesser extent given that he is a promising player, which Roko Prkacin is developing. If the 6.5 points and 3.8 rebounds that he posted at Girona last season were enough for him to land in the Gran Canaria this season has lowered its averages to 3.8 points and 1.3 rebounds per game. Of course, in 7 minutes he plays, ten less than what he averaged in Catalan lands under the guidance of García Reneses.
Alarma Shurna
But if there is a player who is leaving considerable doubts in This competition starter is John Shurna. The power forward, emblem of the yellow team in recent years, is paying dearly for his physical problems in his calf and his numbers and physical delivery are worrying.
The Lieutenant finished last year in the ACB with 9.1 points and 4.2 rebounds on average; but above all, signing a 41% success rate in the line of three, one of the great guarantees of him being the best triple shooter on the team.
However, in the current campaign his accuracy in the Endesa League from a distance is a very poor 23% and his offensive contribution remains at 4.3 points and 3.2 rebounds. Digits that improve slightly in Europee with 7.5 points and 4.2 rebounds; although we must also reflect the 27% success rate this time in two-point shots.
Finally, Pierre Pelos is proving that he is a player who performs at lightning speed, similarity with the team. He has had specific days, especially in Europe, but in the ACB the inspiration has not yet been seen except for the Unicaja day in which he came out with 20 points and 9 rebounds.
That game helps him maintain averages of 5.3 points and 4.5 rebounds in 16 minutes. But he has accumulated two games with zero points and another with only one.
Barceló remains attached to the club
CB Gran Canaria and the Barceló Hotel group will continue to join forces for another year and are another of the sponsors that will be present in the 2023/2024 season. The hotel chain, in its faithful commitment and determined commitment to sport in the Canary Islands, will continue to contribute its grain of sand to the Gran Canaria Basketball Club project through its sports sponsorship. This was once again confirmed after the agreement that took place yesterday at the Gran Canaria Arena between Sitapha Savané, President of the Claretian entity, and Juan Francisco Hernández, Commercial and Marketing Director of Barceló Hotel Group in the Atlantic Zone – both in the photo –. |
