The Venetian Andrea Quarisa is the new Knights pivot, and will wear the number 11 shirt. At 204 centimeters tall, the 32-year-old weighing 109 kilos, last season wore the colors of Sant’Antimo, opponent in the SAE Scientifica championship.
Long with a great propensity to play in the paint, he is a born rebounder, so much so that he was the best rebounder in the group and second in the entire National Serie B. His career began as a member of Pallacanestro Treviso in Serie A1 in 2009/2010 and 2010/2011.
From 2011/2012 a “Giro d’Italia” began, again in A2, between Latina, Fortitudo Agrigento and Assigeco Piacenza, then from 2014/2015 in National B with the jerseys of Cento, San Severo, before returning to A2 with Verona and Pistoia.
In 2019/2020 he is back in Serie A1 with Pistoia, but almost immediately moves to Jesi for two years, then Ancona and then to PSA Sant’Antimo in the last two sporting years.
GM Maurizio Basilico: «This is an excellent hire that fits into a roster that is currently promising well. There is still a lot to do to define the team, but with coach Paolo Piazza we are working head-on to identify the right profiles.
Quarisa was a difficult opponent in the matches against Sant’Antimo and his personal statistics do not give an idea of how much impact he can have.
We believe we have a very strong big man for this championship.”
