Casademont Zaragoza has announced the signing of 21-year-old shooting guard Carla Brito until the 2028 season. The player, a Spanish youth international, arrives from the American university South Florida, where she was a key piece in winning the American Athletic Conference. With this addition, the Aragonese team reinforces its perimeter with youth and high-level university experience, seeking to consolidate itself in the elite of national women's basketball.
Tactical analysis: how Brito fits into Cantero's scheme 🏀
Carla Brito brings defensive versatility and scoring ability from the outside, qualities that fit into coach Carlos Cantero's fast system. Her time in the NCAA has given her an intense game pace and experience in pressure situations. At 1.80 meters tall, she can defend both shooting guard and small forward positions, allowing for more flexible rotations. Her three-point percentage at South Florida hovers around 35%, a resource the team needed to open up opposing defenses. The bet on a young player with potential reinforces the idea of building a solid block in the medium term.
The player who came from the cold (from Florida, mind you) ❄️
Signing a player from Florida to play in Zaragoza has its charm. Swapping Tampa's sun for the Aragonese cierzo wind is not an easy decision, but Carla Brito has said yes. We assume she has already been warned that in January the cold seeps into your bones and that three-pointers go in better with thermal gloves. That said, at least in the capital of the Ebro, she won't have to worry about hurricanes, only about finding a good spot for tapas after games. All for the sake of basketball.
