Coup de effect of Bilbao Basket. Adam Smith (1.85m, 30 years old) renews for one season after the quick agreement reached between club and player. The North American shooting guard has been Miribilla’s idol after fitting in very well in the team last preseason as a substitute for the injured Goudelock. Smith has averaged 14.2 points and 3.1 assists in his first ACB course in the ‘Men In Black’ discipline. He was the second highest scorer in the competition in total points (484) only behind Harding (Manresa, 518) and seventh in average, after Robertson, Harding, Howard, Musa, Taylor and Shermadini. He has earned a good poster in the ACB these months and there were other possibilities, but he has been convinced by the project and the effort of the entity, which is taking reliable steps to play in Europe next season. This signature comes after the renewal of Andersson and the extension of the link between Ponsarnau and Rabaseda for one more year, until 2025.
Smith arrived in Bilbao last September from Hapoel Holon, with whom he was league champion in Israel, also playing in the Final Four of the Basketball Champions League that took place in Miribilla. a disagreement with the Israeli club allowed Bilbao Basket to sneak in. Despite not being able to carry out the preseason with the team, his rapid integration was key to the team’s great start to the campaign. Adam Smith has played all 46 games of the Bilbao Basket season in 2022-23. “His electricity and his talent will help the team to fight for its goals on the field, while his great camaraderie and disposition will help to form a team off it,” says the Biscayan entity.
Although the Atlanta shooter had hinted on the possibility of leaving on social networks, with emotional farewell words, he will finally continue under Ponsarnau’s orders. Efforts are now focused on ensuring Sulejmanovic’s continuity. Withey is written off and has interest in Pantzar, Kullamae and Hlinason. Rigo’s continuity also has to be announced. It remains to be seen if Hakanson executes the affordable release clause in his contract. He is a point guard that Lakovic likes a lot for his Gran Canaria.
