The Dominican forward continues for another season, while Czerapowicz is not a priority and Vasileiadis more outside than inside UCAM
Contrary to how it happened last summer, UCAM for the 2022-23 season will have little to do with last season. Lima decided to step out of his extended contract to leave, the non-community players will no longer be Taylor and Webb III, the club made the departure of Malmanis official yesterday, Alejandro Gómez himself has confirmed that Cate is not going ahead and that there are still players are abandoned. Vasileiadis and Czerapowicz, two with a lot of voices to do it. And in the coaching staff, Óscar Lata left the team to resume his career as head coach at Melilla, of the LEB Oro.
The club has already included American point guard Travis Trice and Congolese center Jordan Sakho in its next roster, but the renewal chapter is set to begin this summer. The first to be made official, although there may still be an official announcement, is Sadiel Rojas, with whom the deal has been in place since before the end of last season, and who, if nothing goes wrong, will wrap up his ninth campaign at UCAM with extend for another year.
Rojas, who turns 33 next month, will continue to hold the Murcia captaincy, but what is not so guaranteed is ownership. And it is that where Alejandro Gómez is very strong in this market, in position ‘3’, where he is expected to make the biggest release with a proven player in Europe. In the ‘4’ he has another very advanced player, but it is not Ousman Krubally, a name linked to UCAM in recent days.
This renewal, that of Rojas, is pending only to close the final margins in a meeting with Alejandro Gómez and Sito Alonso, postponed until the return of his vacations in the Dominican Republic, where the player, who was the one last year with the fewest minutes he has played since his debut season and that in recent years he has never had a partner who would serve him in the position as the expected league.
Todorovic was badly injured in his day, Radoncic went from more to less until he left through the back door, Peter Jok came out froggy and that’s how you get to Czerapowicz. Of the teammates Rojas has had with the ‘3’ in recent years, Sweden’s Czerapowicz has probably been the most solvent. But he never fully convinced who signed it and who to put it on. Neat on the pitch, Czerapowicz is also a tactically neat and flawless player, in part because the amount of risk in his game is unparalleled. That makes it difficult for him to convey and compared to Rojas, this absence of emotions is even more palpable.
However, and while it’s not his top priority (as it was less than a year ago when he was signed), UCAM knows it can’t risk excluding a player like him. Not even, even if he reaches the player he wants for the position of theoretical starting small forward. His presence on the pitch this season marked a +2 for UCAM, he is their most effective player since the triple (41%) and the player who has lost the fewest balls, save for the testimonials Malmanis and Vasileiadis.
De Malmanis made his departure official yesterday and Vasileiadis is practically out of the question. The 38-year-old Greek attacker has expressed his interest in continuing for another year, but there are factors working against him, the main being training quotas. UCAM needs five to play in the Champions League this year, and it is precisely by not playing in this competition last season that they were able to continue in Murcia. Now, and even more so with Lima’s departure, the club has refocused its priorities.
