First weight signing of Bisbal Básquet in his aim to have a good season in his debut at Segona FEB. The people of Baix-Empordana announced yesterday the reinforcement of the Bulgarian center Spas Nikolov, coming from a Cuarte de Huerva that was Bisbal’s rival last season in EBA. The 26-year-old Nikolov was one of the best players in the competition averaging 17.8 points per game, 8.2 rebounds per game and 21.7 rating credits in 33 minutes played.
But beyond his statistics in the fourth category of Spanish basketball, what most draws attention to his career and makes him a particularly interesting signing is that he has experience in the elite European leagues. The Bulgarian made his debut in the national league of his country in his formative years, while in the 2022-2023 season he played for Basket SKT Ieper of the Belgian first division with not inconsiderable numbers. In 17.8 minutes of play, he scored 7.3 points and grabbed 4.7 rebounds per game for a total rating of 7.9.
Nikolov is a center who can also occupy the position of four and stands out for his versatility. He reads the game well, has good fundamentals under the basket and is a great finisher, plus he has the ability to shoot from mid-range or from the perimeter, although as a tall player it is not his specialty.
In his participation in the EBA League shot over 60% on 2-pointers, 28% on 3-pointers while making just one per game, and a remarkable 74% on free throws, especially for players in his position. The Bulgarian will form a formidable inner pair with Lamin Dibbawho was a key piece in the promotion of the Bisbalans thanks to his intimidation and forcefulness under the hoops.
Now the Baix-Empordà team already has the profile of five that it was looking for, and the last additions that will remain to complete the squad are that of a four or a profile that can play both three and four and a base to accompany the captain and top scorer last season, Xevi Torrent.
