Nils Schmitz: BG Göttingen is planning a contract extension for the development player

An exciting chapter has opened up in the world of basketball at BG Göttingen. Nils Schmitz, a talented development player, was signed by BG Göttingen to support the team in the intense 2nd league ProA. In the last few weeks, the situation has worsened for the Göttingen team, who are struggling with personnel shortages due to injury-related absences. Julius Böhmer in particular is rehabilitating after a torn cruciate ligament and Adam Ramstedt is currently with the national team. Therefore, re-signing Schmitz was a smart move to maintain the quality in the team. HNA reports that ...

Schmitz, who began his basketball career at TSG Reutlingen and then moved to the Tigers Tübingen, has already had a number of well-known positions behind him. He gained valuable experience during his time at FC Bayern Munich in the ProB, the PS Karlsruhe Lions and Science City Jena and finally the Eisbären Bremerhaven, where he played an average of 13 minutes per match in 37 games last season. In his first game for Göttingen, he showed that he was ready to take on responsibility and helped the team to an important win in Karlsruhe, where he scored four points. He also already had the opportunity to prove himself in another game against Tübingen.

Contract situation and forecasts

Schmitz previously received a temporary short-term contract that expired after the victory in Karlsruhe. Managing director Frank Meinertshagen expressed his intention to keep Schmitz in the team until the end of the season, i.e. until April/May. Head coach Fabian Strauß also sees great potential for a further commitment. BG Göttingen's record in the ProA so far is mixed, but everyone involved is optimistic that the team will continue to improve and the results will get better.

Schmitz was brought in to strengthen the squad not only because of his position, but also because of his extensive know-how in the league. He is able to relieve the pressure on the development players and bring the team's training back to a healthy level. Ultimately, the goal is clear: to make the season successful through good team performance. The next game against the Kirchheim Knights is on Saturday, another test for Schmitz and the team.
