L’Allianz Pazienza Basketball San Severo formalizes the signing of the agreement with the US guard Ethan Igbanugo, who last season played for Algeciras in the LEB Silver, the third division of the Spanish basketball league. Born in 1999, 1.88 cm tall and 86 kg, he officially becomes the first shot on the roster led by coach Massimo Bernardi.
HE CURRICULUM – Born in Lakeville, Minnesota, Igbanugo has a dual passport (American and Irish) and comes from the NCAA D1 team. He stands out for his ability to shoot from outside (39% in his last season, 38% in his NCAA career), quick in dribbling and with an excellent propensity to attack the rim. Great physique and defensive ability, he is a modern player capable of carrying the ball and finishing. This year he made his professional debut in the LEB Plata championship.
THE STATEMENTS OF THE CEO – “We open the beginning of the construction of our roster with a bang and we can only be proud of it. When Ethan’s profile was proposed to us, my opinion, that of the sports director and the coach was unanimous: it is the right profile for our place. A pure talent, with all the characteristics we were looking for. He is a senior who we think can be not only important from a technical and operational point of view, but also the precious glue with the many unders that our team will have at its disposal. A crucial double role for the seniors but we are sure that, in both cases, our new American will not disappoint us”.
THE COACH’S COMMENT – “From a technical point of view, Ethan is a very athletic player, with a good three-point shot, good at one-on-ones and at creating opportunities for his teammates. He is also very productive in the pick and roll and has a defensive aptitude in multiple positions. The double passport ‘completes’ a perfect identikit for the first addition of a clear, young and strongly identifying group. We welcome it with enthusiasm, aware that together we can have fun and entertain the Sanseveresi fans”.
