Known for his physical presence, rebounding tenacity, and efficient finishing, Soriano is expected to be an instant factor. Sporting Director <b data-path-to-node=\"12\" data-index-in-node=\"255\">Thorsten Leibenath<\/b> emphasized his impact: &#8220;Joel will provide us with additional quality and depth at both ends of the floor. After LJ Figueroa, we are excited to welcome the next Dominican Republic international to Ulm.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"15\">Born in New York but a key member of the Dominican national team, Soriano arrives after a stint with <b data-path-to-node=\"15\" data-index-in-node=\"101\">Casademont Zaragoza<\/b>, where he played under former Ulm assistant coach Jesus Ramirez. In the ACB, he averaged <b data-path-to-node=\"15\" data-index-in-node=\"210\">7.5 points and 3.4 rebounds<\/b> in limited minutes (14 mpg), showing flashes of high-level productivity.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"16\">The move is technically a transfer from <b data-path-to-node=\"16\" data-index-in-node=\"40\">Valencia<\/b>, the club that held his rights and with whom he reached the Spanish League finals last season. Soriano is now ready to bring his &#8220;New York toughness&#8221; and international experience to Ulm\u2019s rotation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From Wednesday&#8217;s final whistle in Spain to a Saturday flight to Germany: Joel Soriano has officially joined Ratiopharm Ulm<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":177,"featured_media":481662,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[245,197],"tags":[],"rumors":[],"typology":[185],"posizionamento":[],"class_list":["post-481663","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-bbl","category-eurocup","typology-official"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.3 -
