Hapoel Kiryat Tivon (National League) agreed terms with 36-year old Belizean ex-international forward Alex Carcamo (200-77, college: E.Washington, agency: Dream Team Management). He played last season at Ciudad de Bragado in Argentinian TNA league. The most of previous (2010-11) season Carcamo spent at Asociacion Italiana (TNA) in Argentina. In 16 games he had very impressive stats: 15.7ppg, 5.3rpg and 1.3apg that season. He also spent pre-season at Obera Tennis Club (TNA) in Argentinian league that year. The list of the past achievements is quite long as Carcamo won Kosovo League championship title in 2010. He was also voted Eurobasket.com Kosovo League All-Imports Team back in 2010. Carcamo represented Belize at the COCABA Championships in Cancun (Mexico) four years ago. He is quite experienced player. Carcamo has played also in China, Dominican Rep., Philippines, Portugal, Uruguay (Hebraica), Venezuela, Kosovo (Sigal Prishtina), Mexico (Halcones UV Xalapa and Cosmos), Dominican Republic (Reales) and Argentina (Olimpico de La Banda and San Martin Corrientes). He is close to retirement age as a player. It's very possible he may end his playing career at Kiryat Tivon. Carcamo attended Eastern Washington University until 1999 and it will be his 14th (!!!) season as a professional player. He could be described: A good all around forward, who plays the 3 and 4 positions and even some 5 if needed. Very athletic, good shootblocker, he's really quick for a PF, and has good shooting, dribbling and post-up skills.
