Alba signs New Zealand centre Wetzell

Alba Berlin has signed New Zealand international Yannick Wetzell. The 26-year-old centre comes from Spanish Euroleague participant Baskonia Vitoria Gasteiz and receives a three-year contract.

“Yanni is a charismatic guy and a centre with a lot of energy on the basketball court,” says sport director Himar Ojeda: “With his great agility, he brings a skillset that fits well with us and that we want to develop further. “

Last season Wetzell initially played for New Zealand Breakers in the Australian First Division, joining Vitoria in April.

“I’ve only heard good things about the club and the city from former Alba players,” reports the 2.06 metre tall centre. “So I can’t wait to come to Berlin, get going on the basketball court and get to know the diverse culture of the city. “
