Until yesterday, only two players under 20 years of age in ACB history had more than 20 points and 10 assists in a single game in the Spanish domestic league: Chacho Rodriguez in 2006 and Luka Doncic in 2016. Then, Jean Montero joined the conversation.
With 25 points and 10 assists, shooting 4/7 from two and 4/7 from beyond the arc, in 30:42 minutes on the court, the 19-year-old guard, who already led the Dominican Republic to the World Cup, where they will face Italy, Angola, and the Philippines in Group A, was crucial in Real Betis’ win against Girona.
Producing a 24-0 run to erase the deficit, Luis Casimiro’s team took the important 90-79 victory on the road in the battle for relegation, where Jean Montero has been outstanding for the green-and-white side. The former Overtime Elite player is averaging 17.4 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 4.5 assists per game.
