Capitanes de Ciudad de México are set to begin their journey in the Liga Nacional de Baloncesto Profesional (LNBP) under the guidance of Rafael 'Pachy' Cruz. This new project in the Mexican capital has generated significant excitement, as Cruz, a former Puerto Rican basketball player, is thrilled about the challenge of leading a team in such an important city. 'This is something very special for me, it's definitely a dream,' Cruz stated, who has had a successful career in basketball. Cruz emphasizes the importance of establishing a solid foundation of young players, complemented by veterans both national and foreign. 'Defense is key to winning championships,' he asserted, highlighting his playing philosophy. The management of the Capitanes, led by Salvador Quirarte, has shown a strong commitment to discipline and professionalism, which has motivated Cruz to take on the challenge. With the playoffs season on the horizon, the team is preparing to compete and make their mark in the LNBP.
