Additionally, he contributed 3 assists in just 25 minutes of play. This remarkable performance is noteworthy, especially considering it is Carlos' first season in professional basketball. In another game against Bydgoszcz, Carlos once again showcased his skills by scoring 36 points, securing 1 rebound, and providing 3 assists. Despite his outstanding efforts, his team did not emerge victorious. Throughout the season, Carlos has maintained high statistics, averaging 16.7 points, 3.4 rebounds, 5.7 assists, and 1.2 steals per game in the 25 games he has played so far.

Despite only playing 18 minutes, he managed to contribute 13 points to his team's success. Casademont Zaragoza, currently ranked 15th in the league with a record of 10-24, broke a losing streak of six games thanks to this crucial win. With just two games remaining in the Regular Season, every match is now of utmost importance.
