Slask Wroclaw added depth to its backcourt by signing point guard Frankie Ferrari until the end of the season, the club announced Monday. Ferrari (1.85 meters, 27 years old) split last season between two Spanish clubs, Casademont Zaragoza and BAXI Manresa.
He started the campaign with Zaragoza, where he posted 5.0 points and 2.0 assists in seven Spanish League games. With Manresa, Ferrari averaged 7.2 points and 3.9 assists in 22 Spanish League appearances, as well as 4.6 points and 3.5 assists in 11 Basketball Champions League contests.
Returning to the EuroCup
Ferrari now returns to the BKT EuroCup after last appearing in the competition in the 2020-21 season, his only EuroCup campaign to date. That season, he started with Dreamland Gran Canaria, playing nine games there, before moving to Unicaja Malaga, where he made two appearances. Ferrarri averaged 6.2 points on 35.7% three-point shooting and 4.0 assists.
The new Slask point guard started his professional career at Manresa in 2019 and has moved around quite a lot since. After his stints with Gran Canaria and Unicaja in 2020-21, he finished that season with Manresa. The following campaign saw him briefly play with Brose Bamberg in Germany, then moved to the Santa Cruz Warriors in the G League before finishing the season with Basket Zaragoza. He is now set to play in Poland for the first time, as he looks to help a Slask side that has gone 0-2 through its first two games of the season in Group B.
