First official purchase for Legnano signing Francesco Oboe.
A playmaker born in 2000, Oboe was an opponent for the Knights as a teenager in the 2017/2018 A2 playoffs against Verona and then in the last two seasons with Pavia and Crema.
A player who trained first in his home club of Vicenza and then at Scaligera Verona in his last years of youth, he played his first season as a professional at Raggosolaris Faenza in Serie B and then at Il Campetto Ancona.
The move up the category is in 2021/2022 when he wears the Basket Torino shirt in A2, before returning to Serie B first in Pavia and last season in Crema.
Play with a height of 192 cm which exceeds the average of the same role, has excellent vision of the game and a great aptitude for rebounding. A complete player who can exploit pick and rolls, but also find a shot one-on-one, he will be the starting point guard for the Knights.
Basil: “Replacing Tommaso Marino we knew it wouldn’t be easy, but with Francesco Oboe we have certainly signed a player of great value and with an excellent prospect.
We had already followed him since his time in Pavia where he was coached by our former Mazzetti, and in recent seasons we have seen important improvements in leadership on the pitch.
We are convinced that we have signed a player who will certainly be the protagonist of the championship and who is the first piece of the new team; It goes without saying that the point guard plays a central role in building the team and with Francesco we started very well.”
