European Basketball News: Justin Minaya is already thinking about Barcelona Basketball. The new Barça player, who has signed a contract until 30 June 2028, delivered his first comments as a Barça player and emphasized what he wants to bring to his new team: energy, defense and speed.
This player from the United States, who also holds a Dominican passport, also welcomed his first experience in Europe with enthusiasm to make his debut in the EuroLeague.
“I’m very happy to be here. Playing for a team like Barça and being able to appear in the EuroLeague is a dream come true,” said Justin Minaya to club media.
The 27-year-old, 1.96-meter-tall *forward* player arrived in Palau after spending his entire professional career in the United States, and now he faces a completely different challenge.
Its main strength lies in the defensive aspect. “Energy and defense are one of my strengths. I feel like I am one of the best defenders around,” he said.
Minaya is able to play defensively in various positions, from positions 1 to 4, and his ability to change guard against different opponents was one of the factors that convinced Barça to sign him.
This player from the United States is also very enthusiastic about proving his abilities as a defensive specialist on the field.
“I really want to show it and show my passion for this game. I want to bring a lot of energy and make the game of basketball fun,” he said.
A statement of intent from a player who stands out for his intensity of play, good off-the-ball movement and ability to create second chances through his *offensive rebounding*.
