Aday Mara, 2.20 m pivot and 18 years old and one of the greatest pearls of the future of Spanish basketball, has confirmed with a farewell letter that he publishes on his social networks, that leaves Casademont Zaragoza and the ACB League to take the leap and play in the prestigious UCLA College League US (ncaa). And he explains why: “It has been a complicated decision because I am leaving home, I am away from my parents, my friends and everything. for one single reason: to be able to combine my personal and academic development at an American university with my sports development at the highest level”.
I am leaving for one reason only: to be able to combine my personal and academic development at an American university with my sports development at the highest level.
In that letter it is shown grateful to “everyone who has shared my path during these years”. Includes coaches, physical trainers, delegates and physios. But few words to the club, which will most likely take the player to courtwho is not willing to pay the 600,000 euros who were allegedly on his termination clause.

The pivot I turned 18 on April 7does not have a professional contract and his salary barely reached 600 euros a month. The Mao club, through a statement, assured in its day that “contracts must be respected” and warned with “adopting the necessary measures so that it continues to be so”. If the case goes to trial, the mao group will have all the ballots to lose given that inequality between its termination clause and the paltry salary of the player.
Aims for an ugly breakup
Everything indicates that the breakup will be ugly, because the conflict has a complicated solution. One of the options is that the club reports the case to FIBABut there are two important things to keep in mind. First of the contract he had was not professional. And second, that as long as there was no sentence, Mara could not play with UCLA, but in this case, yes, since the NCAA is not under FIBA regulations.

Mara, in her debut season in the Endesa League, he has averaged 5.3 points, 3.2 rebounds and a PIR of 6.6 in just under 12 minutes in the 22 games that you have disputed Beyond the statistics there is the feeling that it is a special player, with a very high ceiling thanks to conditions rarely seen in Spanish basketball: Great mobility despite his size, extraordinary passing ability, sensational knowledge of the game… NBA meat, in short.
