Gevi Napoli Basket’s first official transfer market shot. After saying goodbye to Andrea Zerini in recent days, the blue club announced the signing of power forward, born in 1998, Alessandro Lever, who has signed a two-year agreement with the Neapolitan club.
“With the signing of Alessandro Lever our market opens up. He is still a young player, but with good experience, and an important margin for growth. Lever’s characteristics cover the style of play that coach Igor Miličić wants. He has a good shot, and can also play a few minutes from the center. I’m very happy to have Alessandro with us, he’ll be an important player for the team we’re building, and I’m sure he’ll do very well in Naples,” commented the manager of the technical-sports area, Pedro Llompart.
“I am thrilled and excited to start this new adventure. The warmth of the Napoli fans is well known and I can’t wait to experience it firsthand. I will do my best and give my all to achieve the goals that the company has set for itself. I thank the whole club, Pedro Llompart and coach Miličić for the trust placed in me”, were Alessandro Lever’s first words as a new Napoli Basket player.
