Unicaja extends combo guard Joseph Gomis

Unicaja reached a new agreement with combo guard Joseph Gomis, who will stay in Malaga next season. Unicaja keeps an option to extend the deal until the end of the 2010-11 season. Gomis (180, 31) averaged 6.7 points and 1.8 assists in 14 Euroleague games last season. He helped Unicaja to make it to the Spanish King's Cup final and the Spanish League semifinals. Gomis has previously played for Valladolid, with whom he ranked second in the Spanish League in scoring in the 2007-08 season with 18 points per game in additon to 2.9 assists per game. Gomis has split his career between his native France and Spain. He first spent six seasons with Evreux and two with Sluc Nancy, helping the latter win the Korac Cup in 2002. Gomis then moved to Spain and played two years at Breogan Lugo and then three for Valladolid. Gomis was also a regular member of the French national team and played at both the 2006 world championships in Japan and the 2007 European championships in Spain. "My priority was extending my contract. I am very satisfied to stay in Malaga for one more season," Gomis said. "I think we are putting together a team that allows us to keep growing. The club is working in the right direction, adding good players for Aito's systems. It will all pay off next season."
