One of the early surprises of the ACB season,
Gerald Fitch and his Fuenlabrada team have crashed back to earth completely over the past month or so, firing their coach after finding themselves dangerously close to the relegation zone. Fitch signed in Spain this summer after abusing flimsy defenses in Turkey to the tune of 28.2 points per game last season, and has not had much difficulties replicating his form this year. He leads the ACB in scoring at 20 points per game, but is also leading the league in field goal attempts and possessions used, which is an accurate reflection of his style of play. Considering the skill-level he shows creating his own shot, getting to the free throw line and hitting jumpers from the perimeter, as well as the way hes producing in the very tough ACB, he may be a guy teams want to take another look at, as hes still only 27 years old.
