Personal Statement
My name is Everts Ramza and I am a 19 years old point guard from Riga, Latvia. Currently I am playing on the team "Latvijas Universitate" ("Latvian University"), who plays in Paf Latvian - Estonian Basketball League, it is a joint Latvian - Estonian basketball league. It is a professional league, but my team does not count as professional.
I am the youngest player in this league, who plays such big minutes on average (24:40 min) and starts so many of the games in the starting five (79% of the games). My stats for the "Latvian University" are 4.8 points, 3.9 assists, 2.0 rebounds, 0.5 steals and 2.7 fouls drawn. In games I started in the starting lineup, I am averaging 5.9 points, 4.8 assists, 2.3 rebounds, 0.6 steals and 3.3 fouls drawn. With 4.8 assists, I would be the 8th in the whole league.
I have played in FIBA U16 European Championship in 2017, was the captain of the U18 national team in 2019 European Championship and finished 11th in assists for the tourney and played in FIBA 3x3 World Championship where I finished 9th on scoring averages. If You are interested, I can send You my highlights from these tournaments as well.
I am a quick point guard with international experience. I can bring a good skill set at the point guard position, due to my great basketball IQ, good vision, passing, change of pace and scoring off the pick and roll, but my main focus is playing on defense, I am very aggressive and I am always accepting the challenge of guarding the best player of opposing team. My strongest sides are high basketball IQ, defense, passing and scoring off the pick and roll, especially floaters.
I feel that I can offer a lot of great things to a team. I always play hard until the end of the game, no matter what the score is. I am always ready to take the lead on and off the court. I practice as hard as I can and I am not afraid of difficulties.
