Mattia Ceccato claims October Under-21 honor in Serie A2 basketball
Mattia Ceccato of Unieuro has been voted the best Under-21 player in the championship for the month of October by fans, ilrestodelcarlino.it reported. The 2007-born guard surpassed fellow teenager Matteo Accorsi of Pesaro in the public poll after logging numbers that outpaced expectations for a league newcomer.
Born on June 8, 2007, Ceccato logged an unexpected level of production during his first five appearances of the regular season in October. Playing roughly 19 minutes per contest, the young guard averaged 13.2 points, 2.5 rebounds, and nearly two assists. His shooting percentages stood out across the sample: 72 percent from two-point range, 37 percent from beyond the arc, and 82 percent from the free-throw line.
How Ceccato and Accorsi compared in the voting
The race for the monthly award featured two backcourt talents born in the same year. Accorsi, playing for Pesaro, posted averages of 10 points in nearly 23 minutes of floor time per game, shooting 53 percent from three-point range for a high-ranking squad. Yet the league’s fan base ultimately favored the impact delivered by Unieuro’s number 25.
Ceccato reached double figures in scoring four times during the opening month. His strongest individual performance came during a narrow 92-87 home defeat to Libertas Livorno, where he contributed 25 points and 4 rebounds across 25 minutes of action.
Unieuro’s rising rotation piece
The recognition underscores a swift integration into the senior ranks for the young guard. While Accorsi anchored his production in a contending program, Ceccato’s scoring efficiency and volume off the bench for Forlì set him apart from his peers in the Under-21 classification during the opening weeks of the Serie A2 campaign.
Unieuro Forlì continues its league schedule following the October block, relying on its developing rotation pieces as the regular season calendar advances.
