Looks like Crvena Zvezda isn’t done shaking things up! Cuban center Hasiel Rivero, who just said goodbye to Maccabi, is heading to Belgrade in top form. Over the last two seasons with Maccabi, Rivero averaged 10.2 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 1.3 assists per game, shooting a scorching 62% from two-point range. Zvezda already has some serious competition at center with Bolomboy and Ebuke Izundu, and now Rivero joins the fray. Coach Sfairopoulos will have a feast of options, but also a headache. Will Rivero live up to the hype and bring a new dimension to Zvezda’s game? Or will he just get lost in the crowd? Rivero already knows life in Belgrade, which should help him settle in. But who knows what’s really going on behind the scenes? Maybe this is just another attempt to make Zvezda look like a serious EuroLeague contender while they’re actually fighting to stay afloat. Either way, it’s going to be wild to watch how this story unfolds. So, what do you think? Is Rivero the real deal or just another player who’ll vanish before you know it? Drop a comment and let’s see who’s the optimist and who’s the skeptic!
