Franca Basquete, the current five-time NBB champion, is preparing for a significant roster overhaul for the 2026/2027 season. With confirmed departures of icons like Lucas Dias and Georginho heading to Mogi Basquete, the team is looking for reinforcements both nationally and internationally. Additionally, Argentine point guard Nacho Laterza and Panamanian forward Luís Rodriguez may also leave the club, increasing the need for new signings. Point guard David Jackson is close to renewing his contract, while center Cristiano Felício will remain for another season. The status of center Rafa Mineiro and guard Cordero Bennett is still uncertain. Head coach Helinho Garcia hopes to retain forward Zu Júnior, who is expected to renew after recovering from an injury. Guard Vinni Santos, a product of Franca, will also stay and could see more playing time. Among potential arrivals, forward Gui Deodato, formerly of Flamengo, is in talks for a signing, along with point guard Vitinho and forward Lucas Siewert, both former Paulistano players. Center Andrezão, named the best in his position in the last NBB, is another target but may head to college basketball in the United States. Argentine point guard Santiago Scala has an offer to return to Franca but faces competition from Flamengo and teams in Mexico. The next Brazilian basketball season starts in August, with Franca's first challenge being the Paulista Championship, where the team is the reigning champion.
