Guaiqueríes de Margarita es uno de los líderes de la tabla y de los favoritos a llevarse el cetro de la inaugural Superliga de Baloncesto venezolana, y en sus filas milita un promisorio pívot que está dando de qué hablar: Ali Mata.
El mirandino es toda una aparición U-23 para el fanático del básquetbol nacional, con sus 2.05m de estatura y larguísimas extremidades. Su gran envergadura de brazos, zancada y soltura de pies así como capacidad atlética le hacen ser toda una amenaza en los tableros, a pesar de ser muy delgado para la posición a nivel profesional. Su fortaleza física será un aspecto importantísimo para su evolución al corto plazo. En esta competición ha dejado espectaculares tapones, una movilidad que poco se ha visto en años en la posición para un criollo, y asombrosa efectividad en % de acierto a pesar de promediar solo 12 minutos en cancha.
Mata promedia 5.0 puntos, 4.4 rebotes y 0.6 bloqueos en estos 7 juegos, aunque vemos con lupa, su average PER 36 es de un notable 12.2 Pts (52% TC), 10.8 Rbs y 1.4 Blk. Aún con muchísimo margen de mejora y visiblemente crudo en fundamentos debido a su falta de exposición al básquetbol organizado durante los últimos años, a Mata, de 22 años de edad, se le augura un importante margen de mejora como jugador como una joya por pulir.

Guaiqueríes de Margarita is one of the teams topping out the leaderboard and one of the favorites to win the title of the inaugural Venezuelan Basketball Super League, and within its ranks there is a promising center who is stirring quite the buzz: Ali Mata.
The Miranda native is quite a U-23 newcomer for not only the casual national basketball fan but rival teams as well, with his 6'9 tall frame and extremely long limbs. His large wingspan, stride and quick feet as well as athletic ability make him a real threat on the boards, despite being still too slim for the position at an elite professional level. His gains in physical strength will be a very important aspect for Mata's evolution in the short term. In this competition he has had his fair share of spectacular blocks, a mobility that has rarely been seen in years regarding his position for a Venezuelan player, and astonishing effectiveness in field goal % despite averaging only 12 minutes on the court.
Mata averages 5.0 points, 4.4 rebounds and 0.6 blocks in these 7 games, although if we see with a magnifying glass, his average PER 36 turns into a remarkable 12.2 Pts (52% FG), 10.8 Rbs and 1.4 Blk per game stat-line. Still with plenty of room for improvement and visibly raw in fundamentals due to his lack of exposure to organized basketball over the past few years, the 22-year-old Mata is poised to have significant growth for improvement as a player like a gem to be polished.
