Ricardo Fischer signs with RETAbet Bilbao

Ricardo Fischer (185 cm) will be joining RETAbet Bilbao Basket (Spain-Liga Endesa). The move comes after playing seven seasons in his home country of Brazil. This season, he was a part of Clube de Regatas do Flamengo (Brazil-NBB) and scored 8.2 ppg while dishing 4.7 apg in 23.3 mpg. This follows another productive season in the NBB with Bauru (Brazil-NBB) in the 2015/2016 season. Fischer was a part of Bauru from 2012-2016 and the team won multiple championships in that time. Most recently, Bauru lost in the 2016 Liga Americas championship but won the title in 2015. The experience Fischer received in all of the championship situations should pay off in his future.

Fischer can find open scorers as well as making shots. His new Spanish team will hope the 26-year-old can continue. Bilbao finished the Liga Endesa season with a 14-18 record which was good for tenth. They also competed in the Eurocup where they failed to escape Group B.
