Yanni Wetzell (pivot, 2.08 meters) is already in Vitoria after 36 hours of travel. “I’m tired but I really want to start working with this team. For me it’s very exciting to come and play in Spain, in the ACB and in the Euroleague. I’ve been a professional for two years and I usually follow European basketball a lot”, he said nothing more land in the Basque capital.
“I consider myself a versatile center, who can defend opposing players from all positions. I fight, rebound and work, but in attack I think my main virtue is footwork. But I can play in the midpost or in the low post I play the pick and roll and I also like to crush rival baskets. I am eager to start workr,” he added.
Wetzell has German ancestors, was born in New Zealand and was now playing in the Australian league. He has a Samoan passport so he is cotonou and will not occupy a non-community place. He comes to reinforce the team after Landry Nnoko left in January for Hereda San Pablo Burgos.
Bitci’s next match will come on Sunday against Baxi Manresa at the Buesa Arena. The main idea is to get into the playoffs as soon as possible, but now it has been difficult to do so as top seed. Yesterday that train was lost against Valencia, a team that was leading them by 20 in the second quarter but, with an incomplete reaction, managed to get 4 up in the last quarter. Swim to die on the shore.
