Simone Fontecchio is officially a new Baskonia player. Almost revolving doors, therefore, in an Italian key: for a Achille Polonara exiting in the direction of Fenerbahce, another blue who comes in from Alba Berlin, who helped to win the German championship.
The twenty-five year old from Pescara will remain in Basque land for three years. His statistics from last year: in the Basketball Bundesliga 11.9 points and 3.4 rebounds on average, which become 10.6 and 3.4 in the Euroleague, where he played 29 games out of 34.
Not only: his averages at the Pre-Olympic in Belgrade were very remarkable, where he was among the great protagonists who helped Italy to qualify for the Tokyo Olympics. For him 19.7 points, 6.3 rebounds and 54% from three.
This is his second foreign adventure: before Berlin and Vitoria he had only played in Italy. Growing up in the Virtus Bologna youth academies, he then moved to Olimpia Milano, a time during which he was also filmed in Cremona, and finally moved to Reggio Emilia.
That of Fontecchio is presumed not to be the last shot of the tail of the Baskonia, which is pressing on Wade Baldwin and has already signed both Vanja Marinkovic that the former Avellino Matt Costello.
