With the Jordan Brand deal hitting into effect on January 15th and the designs of the shoes, uniforms and apparel for the BSN teams, The League and for retail BSN teams have been looking at every corner of the planet to find the best talent possible for this season which Begins on February 25th.
The Arecibo Captains the Sub Champions of the BSN had a very dissapointing performance in the FIBA Americas League due to the fact that their heart of their team Point Guard Bobby Joe Hatton (Marist College) was injured after the first game and was unable to play the rest of the tournament. This led to a total collapse of the team as they were left with an adequate point guard in which also their back up Pachy Cruz was injured during the tournament on its first day.
But, The Captains are reloading and have decided to add former NBA Center Tony Massenburg for the Season along with the announced signing of former NBA Forward and 1st round draft pick in the 2001 NBA Draft Rodney White who is comming back from a series of bad injuries and tries to get back to the NBA or to find a shot in the Euroleague along with his Captains Teammate former Chicago Bull and Current Maccabi Tel Aviv/Euroleague Star Marcus Fizer who will be with the captains once the Maccabi Tel Aviv/Euroleague season is over. Coach David Rosario should guide this team straight to the finals.
