Germani: a biennial for Moss: first on the pitch, then “in the family”

David Moss in Brescia for another two years. The agreement with the captain is ready until 2024, which provides for the use of the small forward from Chicago as a foreigner of the Cup (Germani is preparing to make its return to Eurocup) for the 2022-2023 season.

Then, for the following year, there is the general idea of ​​imagining a future in which the biancoblù number 34 remains “in the family”, or with a role in the staff, or with a position at company level. The official announcement is expected for today. Moss had been the last man of the Brescia Basketball a speak at the end of an official match, that is race-4 in Sassari, last 22 May. He intervened after the press conference of coach Alessandro Magro, after the siren of that challenge in which a Germani decimated by injuries had tried to force the series to “good” until the end.

In that venue, the athlete who on 9 September he will be 39 years old he had repeated his mantra: “I learned that you have to stop when you have lost the will to make sacrifices to compete at a certain level,” adding that that moment, for him, had not arrived at all. And that the desire was to stay in Brescia.

The joints of this last summer have been propitious. Not because his mentality and experience of him, in addition to the defensive contribution (and not only), were in themselves little thing. But because it would have been difficult to occupy a slot as a foreign player for him, who for some years has been more supporting actor than protagonist. But Pallacanestro Brescia chose the Eurocup route, the company decided to invest, the Petrucelli operation, which allowed Magro to “earn” a “top class” Italian, went through with the precision of a swiss watch. The pieces have all fallen into place.

Speaking of pieces: we are approaching the completion of the squad. L‘main objective is to bring home the agreement with the US guard-wing to whom, in short, entrust the keys to the attack. The profile is there, now it is one, and the aim is to close in these hours. There is an identikit, but the name is currently “protected”: 27-28 years, many points in the hands, the right head to face the first experience in Europe (he has been divided up to now between G-League and Nba).

Among the candidates was also considered Deonte Burton, who played last season in the Maine Celtics and who also has 71 appearances for the Oklahoma City Thunder. But it should not be the man on whom the Brescia management is trying to tighten in these hours. Once the shot has been scored, all that remains is to complete the squad with a sixth Italian player.
