The Syntainics MBC squad is growing and growing: With Gianni Otto, the Weißenfels team signed another playmaker, who was captain of the Tigers Tübingen for a long time.
The 29-year-old signed a one-year contract and is scheduled to be the third playmaker behind the established Charles Callison and Aleksa Kovacevic next season, the MBC announced on Tuesday (July 2, 2024).
Geissler: “Perfect addition to our squad”
Otto most recently played for Bundesliga rivals Tigers Tübingen, where he was team captain for three years, but was relegated with the Baden-Württemberg team last season. In 28 BBL appearances, he averaged 3.4 points and 2.5 assists.
In Weißenfels, they are relying primarily on the long-distance throws of the son of water polo record national player Frank Otto. MBC managing director Martin Geissler spoke of a “perfect addition to our squad. For coach Janis Gailitis, it is of the utmost importance to have more depth in the important build-up position than in the past.”
MBC squad fills up
Otto is the sixth new addition to the team that finished 13th in the championship last season. One or two more faces will be added before the start of the season. Geissler explained that the first twelve players will belong exclusively to the Bundesliga team. Players 13 and 14 will be given a dual license for the cooperation partner BSW Sixers.
