It took just three days Insolac Box 87 in going to the market to reinforce its squad for the first time with the season underway. And possibly it will not be the last move made by the green-red club, which has not yet won in the Second FEB and this Sunday will host the San Pablo Sports Palace at the Leonese Cultural and Sports (12:30 p.m.), exaequo leader of the West Group of the category along with Melilla with full victories: three out of three. In the antipodes, penultimate and with the victory box blank, is Caja 87, which this Friday announced the incorporation of the canary Michael Serranowho changes teams without leaving the province of Seville. Because this 2.05 meter, 23-year-old power forward began the course in the ranks of the CB Naturavia Morón without finding his place in the group directed by José Antonio Santaella.
In his short-lived stage in the Aruncitan ranks he did leave a good performance, the one signed in Santiago against Monbús Obradoiro: 11 points, 7 rebounds and 1 assist were credited in the defeat in Galician lands (78-65) the now new Insolac Caja 87 player, from whom the green-red entity expects “intensity and quality in the game” thanks to “his imposing physical level and overwhelming energy.” It was a given that, sooner or later, those responsible for the green-red team would make a move to provide the squad with more arguments. Because, for now, the results are not coming and the upcoming calendar is tough. The Sevillians have lost to Huesca La Magia (68-71), Cáceres World Heritage Site (80-68) and Biele Group Iraurgi (76-69)evidencing two localized deficits: the team lacks points (it is scoring 68.3 on average) and a greater presence on the boards.
The latter is less surprising since, due to the urgency with which the club was created and the project was set up, The Caja 87 arrived late to the market. And although they hunted many first options, in the inside game they had more problems closing it out. In this sense, the Sevillian Adrián Latorre is fulfilling, but a greater contribution from the Congolese is missing Ken Baoko and Gullit Mukendi. With good sense, Caja 87 left a free ticket, number twelve, and it did not take long to assign that box office, taking advantage of the separation of Miguel Serrano’s Naturavia Morón, which is downgraded to a category that it knows very well (In it he played with the Gran Canaria subsidiary) and in which it has offered satisfactory performance in previous seasons. In 2021-2022, he averaged 10.4 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.1 assists; and in 2022-2023, 9 points, 3.9 sacks and 1 assist.

Rafa Gomáriz’s assessment
The player is already registered on the official website of the Second FEB as a member of the Caja 87 squad and it is expected that his debut will take place against Cultural Leonesa in the second duel that the verdirrojos will play in San Pablo this campaign. «Miguel is a young boy who comes from the Gran Canaria youth academy. And he is a player who we wanted to sign in the summerbut he wanted to play in Primera FEB and we were waiting until the last moment, until we couldn’t take it anymore so as not to lose Ken’s option. It’s going to give us a tremendous level of energy. He has an extraordinary physique and is very good at rebounding, both offensively and defensively. Since we like to play fast, it adapts perfectly to what we want and can be complemented very well with Dedovic.We were having problems in defense with very fast and mobile fours. The possibility of having many more offensive and defensive variants is going to give us much more tactical richness and the ability to do different things. Miguel is a player a very high level», he commented Rafa GomárizCaja 87 coach, about the signing.
Miguel Serrano’s loss will, by the way, be replaced at CB Naturavia Morón, which also has problems in the inside game and has not achieved victory in the First FEB after four days played in which, yes, it has already been measured to high level teams like Flexicar Fuenlabrada, the Monbús Obradoiro or the Inveready Gipuzkoa Basket. This Sunday, José Antonio Santaella’s men, who will be reinforced with a player in the five position, will play in the Alameda pavilion against Grupo Ureta Tizona Burgos (12:00 p.m.).
