Carroll, who picked up the nickname “Bum Bum” while playing in Italy last year due to his bombs-away shooting prowess, has been having a stellar season for the CB Gran Canaria team in the Canary Islands. CB Gran Canaria reached the Final Four of the EuroCup tournament.

The press release announcing Carroll’s award came after a 31-point effort against CB Murcia.
For fun, I tried to get a Spanish-to-English translation via Babble Fish.
The results, as can be the case during computer-aided translations, was a little humorous.
