Con Kenny Gabriel’s confirmation Germani concluded the operations related to the completion of its own long package. The department is made up of Gabriel himself and Nicola Akele in the power forward spot, and Miro Bilan and Michael Cobbins in the centre. The formula, however, could be described as a «4+1», given that Jason Burnell he can disengage himself from «3», but also from «4», being in possession of qualities that allow him to act as a «change» for Petrucelli (the official stay of the Italian-American is awaited) and Gabriel.
Two of the four long battery players I’ve been at Pallacanestro Brescia since “day one” of the technical project founded by coach Alessandro Magro and by the general manager Marco De Benedetto. They are the same Gabriel and Cobbins, praetorians of the coach, darlings of the fans, points of reference in the locker room. Men who can act as “ambassadors” to new players. Given that, precisely because of the technical characteristics of an athlete like Bilan, something in terms of play is bound to change compared to past seasons (which, moreover, have not been a photocopy of the other).
Akele, for its part, is in the second season in white and blue. The first went to the archive between lights and shadows. Arrived from Treviso with the greedy opportunity to play a year in an ambitious club both in the league and in the Eurocup, he obtained the best result in the Italian Cup. Germani will now play once a week, and the opportunities for the Veneto player will be fewer. From him, however, Akele also has the quality of knowing how to disengage from a small forward in “big” quintets, which could still prove to be a good weapon in Serie A.
Pivot
Bilan and Cobbins, on the other hand, complement each other. The first has strong offensive skills and has a rather rich technical baggage. The center of Amarillo, for its part, is one of the defensive reference points of the historic core of Magro. Generalizations leave the time they find, but broadly speaking it could be said that the Croatian is a player capable of catalyzing the game of his teammates (and the attention of the defenses), even if he doesn’t turn into a finisher every time, while “Big Mike” has the ability to enhance the qualities of his teammates.
In the interlocking game, and always waiting for Petrucelli, at Pallacanestro Brescia, now, only one piece would be missing: the point guard. The construction of the roster, up to now, has had a linear and coherent trend. Finally, the very fact of having armored up the longs pack quickly has a lot of value in itself, given that the market for the “big men” is more restricted than that of the wingers.
