Lucas Fares Paul Gertz (born May 2, 1990 in Villa Carlos Paz ) is a German basketball player . He is under contract with the third division club Duke Wolfenbüttel .

Gertz comes from the offspring of the German first division club Löwen Braunschweig, for whom he was initially mainly used with a double license in the junior team in the youth basketball league (NBBL) and in the reserve in the third-highest division ProB . After the age-appropriate expiry of the double license, he was a permanent member of the squad in the highest German division.

Career

Gertz, son of an Argentinian and a German, grew up in Argentina until he was 12 and then moved to Germany with his parents.

In 2006 Gertz moved up to the squad of the Braunschweiger junior team in the youth basketball league (NBBL), in which the later first division players Cornelius Adler and Jusuf El-Domiaty were among his teammates. The team played here with limited success until 2009, however, only a younger generation around Daniel Theis and Dennis Schröder managed to qualify for the NBBL Top Four in 2011 . At this time Gertz played already in the Brunswick Erstligareserve SG FT / MTV that in the third-highest division ProB time under the sponsors name Spot Up Media changed its name . In the first three seasons with the men, Gertz reached midfield placements with this team.

After Gertz was initially only used for an average of ten minutes per game in the ProB, he made his breakthrough as a top performer in the ProB 2011/12 with almost 30 minutes of playing time per game. By means of a double license , Gertz also received his first minutes of play in the top German division basketball Bundesliga with the team then known as the New York Phantoms. With the Spot Up Medien Baskets Gertz lost the quarter-final series in the ProB 2011/12 against the eventual play-off winner Oettinger Rockets Gotha , which was followed by two elimination in the first round in the following two ProB seasons. After Gertz had three short appearances in the basketball Bundesliga 2011/12 , he was only used again in the Phantoms on the last day of the following season, when the relegation of the first division side was already ensured. But here he was also used for over 20 minutes in this game, which almost quadrupled his total playing time in the first division. Under the new first division coach Raoul Korner , Gertz came in the basketball Bundesliga 2013/14 , where it was again only enough to stay in the league, to eight short-minute missions with an average working time of less than four minutes per game. After Gertz's double license had expired, he still got a new contract for the first division squad and was now regularly used in the basketball Bundesliga 2014/15 .

After the end of the 2015/16 season, he decided to leave his home club and in August 2016 moved to the Crailsheim Merlins , who had been relegated from the first to the second division in the previous season. After a year in Crailsheim, he changed in the summer of 2017 within the 2nd Bundesliga ProA and went to the Hamburg Towers . He stayed there until the end of the 2017/18 season. In January 2019 he joined the Dukes Wolfenbüttel (2nd Bundesliga ProB).
