Surne Bilbao has signed French pivot Bastien Vautier for next season
Surne Bilbao has signed the 27-year-old French pivot Bastien Vautier from the ASVEL Villeurbanne for the 2026-2027 season.
Last season, Vautier averaged 8.6 points and 3.9 rebounds per game in the French League, while in the Euroleague he averaged 5.7 points and 2.9 rebounds and was named best player of the 18th day after scoring 28 points to Anadolu Efes and scoring 31 credits.
Surne Bilbao's sports director, Rafa Pueyo, believes that Bastien Vautier will give the team points near the basket. "There he has good moves and is very effective, as well as being strong in pick and roll continuity. We also think he is a player who registers the pass from low post situations and high post situations."
The billiard club believes it will give the team "strength" in the rebound, "especially in the offensive rebound," and that it "fits perfectly" into the defensive philosophy of the team. "Tryggvi (Hlinason) and both will form a very solid couple of pivots that will give us strength in the painting. We are very happy to join the team and we hope to play the best game in Bilbao," he said.
