In the before and after of Rbr there is a pressing need for points, to enrich a ranking which at the moment tells of a team in penultimate place with two victories and six defeats. Beyond technique, tactics and mere field issues. Sandro Dell’Agnello is thinking of those, who is starting to verify the quality and hidden defects of every single player live.
What has the championship said about Riviera Banca so far? He revealed that some supposed defects are actually advantages, but also the opposite. Let’s examine the presence in the area and the rebounding work, one of the foreseeable weak points of the team given how it was structured, with a 4 like Johnson who is all in all small and a 5 like Simioni who really likes to open up from the arc. In reality Rbr rarely went behind in rebounds and often won the battle with its direct opponents, even losing the match. The red and whites are fourth for total rebounds (38.8, only Trieste, Forlì and Udine are ahead) and even second for those in attack (13.3 behind Trieste). A sign that, at least in this sector, there is no shortage of energy.
The attack, however, which was supposed to be the flagship of the 2023-2024 season, is producing 74.4 points, the second worst figure in the red group. Good hands, ability to pass the ball but also something that evidently didn’t work well, especially in the first few outings. Rimini is second to last in terms of two-point shooting percentage (47%) and third from last in three-point shooting percentage (31%) even if the quality of shots has objectively improved in recent games. Not in crucial moments like those in Cividale, where Riviera Banca stopped circulating the ball as before. And at that point individuals tend to take it into their own hands.
It’s easy to think that in terms of points scored the top of the list at Rbr are Marks and Johnson and that’s exactly how it is. The winger with 17.3 points per game and the big man with 15.5. Then the certainty Tomassini (10.6) and two like Simioni (7.3) and Grande (7.1) who went at alternate times. From this point of view, watch out for Nardò, Sunday’s opponent, who has an uncommon but old-fashioned characteristic. Two Americans who can post almost 60 together. It happened in the last race in Cento: 35 from Smith and 24 from Stewart. Smith, the play-guard, with an average of 22.3 is the best scorer in the entire A2. Stewart, the winger, stands at 17. Watch out for those two.
