The MoraBank made official the incorporation of Wes Iwundu for next season. The American winger with a Nigerian passport, 31 years old and 1.98 meters, signs for one year and joins the project of Zan Tabak to strengthen the outside game with physicality, versatility and international experience. His profile responds to one of the needs that the tricolor set had in this final section of making the squad, that of a player capable of providing energy, defensive solidity and resources in different positions on the perimeter.
Iwundu comes to Andorra after a wide and diverse career. His professional career began inN.B.Aafter being chosen by Orlando Magic in the 2017 Draft. In the American league he defended the jerseys of the Magic, Dallas Mavericks, New Orleans Pelicans and Atlanta Hawksalso combining stages in the G League. Later he made the jump to European basketball, with experiences in Turkey and Germanybefore competing last season in the Australian league, where he averaged 12.3 points per game. Now he will face the challenge of making his debut at the Endesa League with the shirt of MoraBank. The club’s sporting director, Jordi Ardèvolhighlighted above all the versatility of the new signing. “Wes Iwundu is a player who, despite his experience, will play his first season in the Endesa League. He will bring us a lot of defensive versatility, since he is able to defend practically all positions except for the pivot”, he pointed out. ardent he also highlighted his offensive and physical contribution. “Offensively, he stands out for his ability to play without the ball and for his outside shooting. In addition, he is a player with a great physique and athletic conditions that we hope will also help us a lot in rebounding from the perimeter,” he added. With this addition, the MoraBank adds a piece designed to expand records on both sides of the track. Iwundu can provide defensive continuity, help in demanding matchups and provide a physical presence in an increasingly decisive outside position in today’s basketball. His experience in different competitive contexts, from theN.B.A to European championships and the Australian league, it must also serve to give maturity to a dressing room that is just taking shape.
