Years ago he refused to wear the "azzurri shirt" to go for a tryout with the L.A. Lakers... But after his best season ever in the Italian League, reaching the Final with Armani Jeans Milano and playing a big role during the playoffs (14.7 ppg), Recalcati made him a new offer, to fill the spot as a naturalised player... A great shooter, at his best playing transition offense, a lethal weapon running the fastbreak, that can finish with a 3-point shot... Like all great shooters he is underrated as a defensive player, but he can put pressure on the ball, and create steals for the fastbreak... With Calabria (who would replace forward Nikola Radulovic) and Basile on the floor, Recalcati would have a back court that could put points on the board like no other.. |
