It is actually his comeback to Vivo/Franca as he has played here before. He played most recently at Corinthians (NBB). In 25 games he averaged 13.6ppg and 4.2rpg last season. Good year as he was voted League Player of the Week.
He won Liga Sudamericana championship title in 2014 and 2018. Hettsheimeir was selected to Latinbasket.com All-Liga Americas Center of the Year back in 2015, 2016 and 2018.
