It is true that few conclusions can be drawn from what happens in Utebo ahead of that league debut, but if the red-and-black side continues to make a good impression against a team like Tenerife, it will always be a positive sign to look to the future with hope.
The entire squad is available for this game after Brussino, Blumbergs and Bell-Haynes joined the team this week, although Bango remains sidelined as he recovers from the serious injury he suffered last year. The only player outside the main roster joining the squad is U22 center Anthony Rodríguez.
Casademont Zaragoza began preseason with a win over Ilerna Lleida (106-102), with Jaworski finishing with 34 points as the team's main offensive leader. Guillem Vives, Miguel González and Homesley also scored in double figures, although there were numerous defensive lapses as the team continues to adjust its systems.
JAKA LAKOVIC'S TENERIFE
The main change at La Laguna Tenerife has come on the bench following Txus Vidorreta's departure and the arrival of Jaka Lakovic. Otherwise, the team's veteran leaders remain, with Marcelinho Huertas and Gio Shermadini serving as the island side's standard-bearers.
Lakovic's team also won its first preseason game against Dreamland Gran Canaria (96-84). The Slovenian coach's only absentee for this game is long-term injury victim Rokas Giedraitis.
