The social media surge surrounding FIATC Girona highlights a sudden shift in the club’s digital reach, as the Spanish basketball side experiences rapid audience growth driven by the media profiles of recent signings Mac McClung and Jassel Pérez. According to club data, the official Instagram account for Bàsquet Girona climbed from approximately 34,000 followers to 46,100 over a two-month summer window. That increase of nearly 12,000 users represents a 36% jump, a spike the organization ties directly to the impact generated by the signings of Mac McClung and Jassel Pérez.
Roster Additions Expand Girona’s Digital and On-Court Footprint
The influx of online interest arrives as Fontajau embraces a revamped backcourt designed to inject youth and scoring punch into the squad. Jassel Pérez, a 6-foot-3 Dominican shooting guard born in 2001, adds an aggressive perimeter profile to the roster. Reporting by Xavi Ballesteros detailed the initial framework of the move, bringing an athletic guard to Girona who relies on attacking the rim with pace and defensive activity.

Pérez arrives following a split campaign that featured a loan stint with Cantabria in the Primera FEB before shifting to Coviran Granada in the Liga ACB. During the 2025/26 ACB season, he logged minutes across 23 appearances, averaging 11.3 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 1.7 steals in 21 minutes and 38 seconds per contest. Records from that stretch show he shot 34.9% from beyond the arc and 84.3% from the free-throw line on a Granada team that navigated a difficult competitive schedule.
Mid-Season Form and International Production
Before finalizing his integration into the Spanish side, Pérez maintained high-level production overseas. Statistics from RealGM show that while competing with Vaqueros de Bayamón in Puerto Rico’s Baloncesto Superior Nacional (BSN), he posted 20.7 points, 4.7 rebounds, 3.4 assists, and 2.1 steals per game, alongside a 40.2% conversion rate on three-pointers.
That high-volume scoring capability provides Girona with a versatile secondary creator who avoids static positioning on the perimeter. Alongside fellow offseason arrivals Isaac Vázquez, Aljaz Kunc, Andrzej Pluta, and David N’Gues, Pérez forms part of a broader roster overhaul aimed at altering the team’s competitive identity through high-energy youth.
Next Steps for the Fontajau Squad
As the club integrates its new pieces into regular training sessions, attention shifts toward upcoming league fixtures and maintaining momentum both on the court and across digital channels.
