Do we have any rising stars in Serie A? Moreover. We have international prospects. Let’s imagine a small user manual. It is in strictly descending order of age.
Matteo Librizzi (Varese, 2002) the new Atomic Moscow, the place of origin certainly does not lie; however, we are sure that our CT will not get jealous. He can be found everywhere on the pitch, he represents the modern version of the mix between the assault player and the weaver of plots for the benefit of the team. Complete and capable of exploiting the defensive repertoire of steals, he possesses the personality necessary to take over from Mannion as captain.
Davide Casarin (Reyer, 2003) to be considered young as an identity card, but not in terms of experience and laurels already obtained. Don’t ask too much about playmaking and statistics; but stimulate him from a defensive and character point of view, you will get great responses. He excels in the open field through ball handling and physicality, acting as the glue of a quintet with various guns. He knows how to emotionally set the hearts of the stands and opponents on fire with a personality well beyond his twenty-one years, with the orogranata colors now tattooed on his skin. Personally, I am a faithful witness of how much Coach Spahija believed in him even before being his head coach.
Saliou Niang (Trento, 2004) Equipped with quick and elegant movements, he simultaneously embodies the physicality of a Small Wing (199 cm), the essentiality of a guard and the reactivity of a point guard. Prototype of a modern player, he impresses both for what he produces in short space (the stopping and shooting is already relevant) and for how he takes control of the open field. Defensively it is already a certainty for special missions. His rise to prominence was sudden: in this sense, further improvements, especially in shooting continuity, seem guaranteed.
David Torresani (Treviso, 2005) The real news is gaining deserved minutes from match to match. Devastating first step, driven by two explosive hocks. An evolving personality, he is starting to make shots of responsibility even in complicated moments. In the next homework assignment, he must immediately make his ball-handling go from impetuous to harmonious with the team. Tactical sagacity will increase hand in hand with experience on the pitch, creating an unparalleled technical/athletic mix.
Mohamed Faye (Reggio Emilia, 2005, 206 cm) only big player, Senegalese, currently not eligible for the national team. As always, the difference in these roles comes from the solidity and balance of the body, and here we really are. He moves with dexterity in the repertoire of verticality: rebounds, blocks, half hooks. And the reactivity of his feet is comparable to that of a small player. The turnover of NBA scouts at PalaBigi seems like a certificate of quality for the future. —
