# Casademont Zaragoza locks in low-risk signings for 25th anniversary to avoid another scare
Casademont Zaragoza has confirmed five signings for the 2024-25 season, all averaging over 30.4 years old with a combined 37 ACB seasons among them. Sergi García and Nico Brussino lead a veteran return, while the club prioritizes stability after last year’s near-FEB relegation nightmare.
Why is Casademont Zaragoza avoiding risk after the FEB scare?
The sports department, weary of ups and downs, has embraced a conservative approach: proven players only. Guillem Vives, Nico Brussino, and Sergi García collectively have 36 ACB seasons, while only Blumbergs debuts in the league (though he played for Palencia). The message is clear: after nearly missing out on FEB, this year will be about security over gamble.
Who are the signings and what do they bring?
Sergi García and Nico Brussino are the standouts, both with Casademont experience. The first, a guard with a 48% FG% last season, and the second, a forward averaging 10.2 points and 5.1 rebounds per game in the ACB. Guillem Vives (ex-Gran Canaria) and Homesley also join, the latter already familiar with the league. Only Blumbergs arrives without elite experience, though his time in Palencia vouch for his paint skills.
Will there be surprises, or will Casademont Zaragoza stick to safe bets?
The club still needs to add three more players before the season starts. Joan Sastre and Emir Sulejmanovic (now at Joventut) were floated as potential returnees, but nothing is confirmed. What’s certain is that after years of instability, stability is the priority: more minutes for high-shooting-percentage players and less rotation in the starting five.
What does this mean for the 2024-25 season?
Casademont Zaragoza aims to avoid the roulette wheel. With these signings, the goal isn’t a title, but reaching the playoffs without shocks. If the strategy works, the team could solidify itself in the top half of the standings—a far cry from just one year ago. The challenge now is keeping pace in the paint with Blumbergs and not relying on a single perimeter player.
