Still a great reinforcement for theAdriatica Industriale Basket Corato in view of the play-off final against Molfetta: Luigi Brunetti is the new pivot wing of the Adriatica Industriale Basket Corato.
Born in 1988, Brunetti is a modern 4/5, who has his “signature move” in shooting from the average, but who does not disdain going out of blocks and shooting from beyond the arch.
Gigi’s is a welcome return to the shadow of the Quattro Torri, after the very positive experience of the 2019/2020 season, interrupted prematurely by the pandemic. In the 2016/2017 and 2017/2018 seasons Brunetti was super protagonist with the Barcelona jersey (Serie B group D).
Precisely in Barcelona, the new black-green pivot-winger, in the regular-season 17/18 scored 11.6 points and 8.2 rebounds in 30 ‘of average use; 9 points and 5.7 rebounds in the nine playoff games played; 7 points and 4 rebounds at the Italian Cup Final Eight; in the 16/17 season Brunetti scored 13.2 points and 7.6 rebounds in 31 ‘; 12.7 points and 7.7 rebounds in seven playoff games.
In 2015/2016 Brunetti wore Mortara’s jersey in Serie B: 15.7 points and 8.2 rebounds in 36 ‘. In 2014-2015 Brunetti played in Serie C in San Severo (10.6 points), in 2013-2014 in Monteroni (Serie B, 11.5 points and 8.3 rebounds in 31 ‘), in 2012-2013 in Mola (Series C, 15.8 points and 8.1 rebounds in 34 ‘). In his career he also wore the shirts of Porto Sant’Elpidio, Fossombrone, Lumezzane, Capo d’Orlando, Ceglie, Bisceglie, Follo, Lecco.
The excellent experiences in Serie B with Avellino and Catanzaro in the 20/21 season were the prelude to his return to his Puglia. This season Gigi wore Mola’s shirt, dragging the biancoblu up to the semifinal, making him one of the absolute protagonists of the season. His return will allow for luxury rotations under the boards of coach Verile and will increase the technical rate and physicality of the neroverde roster.
