Jones adds Spaniard to Manchester Roster
Manchester Giants have added Spanish big man Iker Amuchastegui to their roster for the new British Basketball League season.
The 6ft 8ins forward was part of the Spanish squad that won the 2006 under-16 European Championships, a roster that included Minnesota Timberwolf Ricky Rubio.
Jeff Jones speaking about the capture of Amuchastegui’s signature said: He comes from a very, very good basketball country and a sound basketball background.
“He is going to be a very good player for us.
“He is smart and talented and he gives us some depth inside.”
The Giants start their BBL campaign with a trip to the Copper Box Arena to face London Lions this Friday, before hosting Sheffield Sharks at Wright Robinson on Sunday, September 29.
