Flamengo and Franca made the NBB grand final and the São Paulo team came out on top after four matches. At the end of the championship, the NBB voted for the best of the 2023/24 season, and Mais Querido had two representatives chosen: Gui Deodato and Gabriel Jaú.
Gui Deodato won the award for best winger of the year, with 12.4 points and 12.9 efficiency, alongside Isaac Thornton, from Botafogo. Inside the cage, the winner was Gabriel Jaú, chosen as one of the pivots of the year, with 13.5 points and seven rebounds. The other best pivot was Lucas Dias, from Sesi Franca.
OTHER CATEGORIES AWARDED
In addition to the "best pivots and best wingers" award, the NBB also awarded other categories, such as: coach of the year, defender of the year, point guard, 6th man, foreigner of the year, outstanding young player, biggest evolution, most efficient player, assists leader, rebounds leader, basket of the year and MVP.
SEASON 2023 /24 DO FLAMENGO
Mais Querido had a campaign below expectations at Flabasquete. This is because Rubro-Negro only won the Super 8 Cup trophy and was runner-up in the NBB and the Champions League of the Americas. Therefore, a better season is expected from Rubro-Negro.
This Wednesday (19), Mais Querido officially renewed the contract with Gustavinho, coach of the main team. Thus, despite fans' complaints towards the coach, he will lead the team for a few more seasons.
A standout in the Super 8 Cup and BCLA conquests, the point guard was essential in Mais Querido's victorious campaign and reinforces the squad for new challenges
