One of the future faces of European basketball will gain more experience in professional basketball, as Mario Saint-Supery got loaned from Unicaja Malaga to BAXI Manresa.
Product of the green-and-purple team’s youth system, he recently carried Spain with 21.4 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 6.3 assists per game at FIBA EuroBasket U18. He displayed a dominant triple-double of 35 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists against Slovenia in the group stage.
With last year’s BCL Champions, he took part in five encounters where he averaged 1.4 points and 1.4 rebounds per game. He’s also coming off an experience in LEB Oro with CB Tizona.
The 2021-22 Basketball Champions League runner-up will face Bertram Derthona, Niners Chemnitz, and the winner of one of the Qualification Rounds in Group G.
Justin Sutton moves to Peristeri
Peristeri reinforced itself by bringing the 27-year-old center Justin Patton to the team. The American big man had FIBA Europe Cup experiences with Hapoel Eilat and Cholet.
Last year, he played in China with Shanxi Zhongyu Brave Dragons, averaging 6.5 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 1.8 assists, before moving to Taiwan and the Dominican Republic to end the campaign.
Selected with the No.16 overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft by the Chicago Bulls, his rights were immediately drafted to Minnesota. He then had experiences with Philadelphia, Oklahoma City, and Houston, but left the NBA later on.
