All around the orange ball
Unión de Formosa has signed the veteran 37-year-old American center Derrick Alston. The former ACB champion with Manresa and Barcelona is playing in Argentina since 2008, after a long career in Europe (with a brief stint in New Zealand in between). Last season, Alston played for Olímpico de la Banda, averaging 12.2 points and 6.0 rebounds per game. Estudiantes de Bahía Blanca was reported to be interested in Alston weeks ago.

Regatas Corrientes has announced the signing of Eduardo Villares. The Argentinian 31-year-old guard arrives from Olímpico de La Banda, where he averaged 14.6 points and 2.0 rebounds last season. Regatas is now tracking a point guard (Raymundo Legaría is the top choice) and a foreign center (Djibril Kante and Derrick Alston are the main candidates)

Juan "Pepe" Sánchez will take control of Estudiantes de Bahía Blanca, if the conversations with the league and the board of the Argentinian team end with a deal. Estudiantes is in a huge financial crisis, and the sell of the club of Sánchez could bring a economical relief. In that case, the 33-year-old guard would also play for the team, and could land the 37-year-old American center Derrick Alston, who played recently for Olímpico de la Banda, and the 42-year-old guard Juan Alberto Espil, who would arrive from Obras Sanitarias.
