[EN] Caleb Homesley, on his signing for Casademont Zaragoza: «Gonzalo has been one of the main reasons for coming here»

One of the players who is called to be one of the references within this renewed Casademont Zaragoza is Caleb Homesley. The American was presented this Wednesday as a new player of the red club and has shown that he did not have many doubts about arriving in the Aragonese capital for different reasons. 

Among the several that he has named, one of the most striking is that he has stated that the coach of the Aragonese club, Gonzalo García de Vitoria has been one of those determining factors. «He is a great person and a great coach because he makes it easy for you to want to fight on the court with the message he transmits to you,» he said

In addition, his great relationship with Nico Brussino was also another of those factors to sign for Casademont because «our connection on the track is very strong and in the conversations we have had he told me that it was a great place to come». He also stated that he thought about the stability of his family and due to his past in Gran Canaria he has decided to return to the ACB because «I loved living in Spain«. 

Despite the fact that this season, the red-and-white team will not play in European competition, something that Homesley is more than used to since his arrival in the Old Continent, that has not been a strong reason to hesitate to arrive at Casademont Zaragoza. «It’s not a determining factor for me not to play twice a week and this will be my first season playing only one game a week. It never crossed my mind, to be honest,» he said. 

HIS ROLE IN THE TEAM

Homesley has assured that in the conversations he has had with Gonzalo García de Vitoria, the coach told him to «be a consistent scorer» and also to bring that experience he has after his long career.

The shooting guard himself has referred to his background as the great virtue that he can bring to the red team because «I am able to adapt to different systems of play». «I think the ACB adapts very well to my way of understanding the game because I am very unselfish and I love that all my teammates are involved. In addition, this year I also want to get more involved in helping in defense and improving in that aspect,» he added.
