Santi Aldama

What intrigues me about Santi Aldama is the choice he made. A Spanish prospect who was named MVP of the 2019 FIBA U18 European Championship could have stayed comfortable in Europe, yet he crossed the Atlantic to play college ball at Loyola before reaching the Memphis Grizzlies. Born on Gran Canaria and the son of a 1992 Olympian, he carries both an island's openness and a second-generation player's resolve. That willingness to leave the familiar in pursuit of growth speaks well of his ambition, and I am genuinely curious how far his ceiling reaches.
