Ansaldo, class 2003 and 2.01 meters tall, is a power forward who was an impact player in our Junior A last season. He is characterized by his enormous athletic ability, and also by the shot of him that he has developed in these last two years in Torrejón de Ardoz. Ansaldo is also a member of the FEBACHILE youth national teams, and participated in the South American U-15 FIBA ​​in Montevideo in 2018, as well as in the South American U-17 FIBA ​​in Santiago de Chile, where his selection was fifth in the continent in both tournaments.

Jiménez, also belonging to the 2003 generation and 1.88 meters tall, is a guard who played in our Junior categories and stands out for his ball handling, intelligence on the court and his capacity for collective play.
