Nico nicked from neighbours
Basketball
NICO Brussino, slotting in nicely to the Iberostar Tenerife jigsaw, has been tempted away from inter-island rivals Gran Canaria, for whom he played after arriving in December.
The wide player was convinced to make the move by fellow-Argentine and Tenerife captain Nico Ricchotti.
At 25, the new arrival has a wealth of experience, not just in his home country but also in the NBA.
Spells at Dallas Mavericks and Atlanta Hawks have made him a good all-rounder, who can make a big contribution to the new-look squad being assembled by returning coach Txus Vidorretta.
Training has started at the La Laguna club, but, with another month until the league starts, there’s lots of work to do.
