On certainly the saddest day in recent years for the whole world Dynamowith the news of the untimely death of a much-loved ex Drew Gordon, winner of Italian Cup of the 2014, arrives at Sassari L’MVP of the last national cup, the Polish winger Michal Sokolowski.
The awakening that no one would have ever expected, that unbridgeable void that the news received United States has left in the hearts of the fans and the white and blue club, which loses one of the heroes of the Italian Cup 2014the first trophy put on the showcase by the Sardinians who tamed the battleship in the final Siena. That Drew Gordon which had enchanted in its first year in Italy, quickly becoming one of the best centers of the recent past Dynamoa two-year period 2012-2014 which brought the first historic trophy for the Bank.
Drew Gordon in winning the 2014 Italian Cup
A damn accident that alone 33 years shattered his life and forever upset that of his family, but his name will remain indelible in the annals of Dynamo: as one of 12 heroes that in that February 9, 2014to the Assago Forumforever put the name of the company via Rome on the map of Italian basketball.
A black day which culminated, however, with the signing of Michal Sokolowski. The coup of GM Pasquini which guarantees the performance of theMVP of the last final of Turinwith the Pole capable of dragging his Naples up to the cup, in the final againstOlympiacontaining beautifully Shields and placing 13 points, 6 rebounds and 22 rating.
A season, that of class 1992from leader undisputed under the orders of coach Milicic, by having it recorded 12 points on average, with almost 60% from two, 35% from beyond the arc and going into double figures 23 times up 30 regular season games.
Sokolowski he is the prototype of the modern winger, capable of covering two roles, of having an internal and external dimension, forming with Bendzius a pair of wings that risks becoming a cocktail lethal for many defenses LBA.
Enthusiastic GM, Federico Pasquini, for the ex’s signature Naples And Treviso:
A player we immediately focused on, it wasn’t easy, he had a great season with Napoli, we are proud that he chose Sassari and that he can be a cornerstone on which to rebuild the group. He has shown excellent skills during his career on both sides of the court, we fully shared the choice with the coach, I think it goes extremely well with Markovic’s idea of basketball.
A great balancer, capable of making an enormous contribution not only to shooting, but above all in defence, where he will often be able to help himself Bendziuswho too often gets into trouble at the other end of the pitch.
Sokolowski he built his career mainly in Poland where he was a protagonist in the Polish league, winning in 2016 And 2019 the national cup with two different teams and even adding the two subsequent super cups to the list of winners.
Then disembark in Italy to Trevisothree seasons, with the parenthesis ofHapoel Holon and salvation in Türkiye with the Besiktascoached by his ex coach Milicic. TO Sassari finds the newcomer himself Justin Bibbins with whom he played for a few months at Legia Warsaw in season 2020-2021, before the French of Pau-Lacq-Orthez they took him away, paying the buyout of the American.
He also shone in the last European in the summer of 2022, protagonist of his fourth place Poland with almost 8 points, 40.2% from 3-point range, and 4.8 rebounds on average per game.
A Dynamo which step by step, or rather announcement after announcement, takes on more and more substance and intrigues even more. Very European and, at least on paper, with a high rate of IQ basketball, something too often missing in the last twelve months.
The next step should be to strengthen the Italian package, after the announcement of Matthias Udomwith Matteo Tambone which radio market gives increasingly closer to the white and blue colors.
