The escape will expire very soon, on June 30th. Then, it will be increasingly difficult to see Mannion away from Varese. And much of the market revolves around choosing him. Meanwhile, Ulaneo and Moretti have left. And they are looking for a center.
Who seems to have been identified with the name of Onu, a 1999 center arriving from Bamberg. The profile, to be clear, is one of those Owens ones, versatility and strong verticality, a bit like Cauley-Stein should have been, proving that Varese is looking for that type of game and will pursue it this year too. But who will be the point guard to feed him? Mannion’s escape to the NBA is almost over, the countdown is on, while he is busy with the national team. It’s his choice/no choice and that of staying or going. If some excellent bidder were to show up by June 30, then he will exit the contract, otherwise it’s as if he has no other choice and therefore he will stay another year here.
And then the casting will certainly start to make up for Moretti’s departure towards Venice. Certainly a very difficult replacement to find on the market, as the Italian guard represented a lot for the pitch and for the red and white locker room. While, however, McDermott, symbol and captain of last year, will remain, a truly important confirmation from Scola, who at least demonstrates his desire to give continuity to an ambitious project which this year too will try to restart from the Fiba Europe Cup, from which a definitive response regarding the entry request is awaited.
