Bologna –
One step away from the Tokyo Olympics, the last cut before the final sorting, Mouhamet Diouf, Momo for everyone, is ready to land in the bianconero world to bring his 206 centimeters at the service of the Virtus colored area.
Originally from Senegal but now permanently on the Azzurro roster, the 23-year-old from Dakar returns to Italy after a season in Lugo in ACB, which ended with 7.3 points and 3.2 rebounds with Breogan.
The role disputes, alchemies distilled by discussing whether it is better to assign him center or wing, make him useful on both sides of the court thanks to the long levers that allow him to reach, both offensively and defensively, beyond the opponent. And it is no coincidence that he has Kevin Garnett as his muse, a total player of over-the-top defensive impact, capable of stinging on offense both from underneath and from the mid-range.
Besides the missed Olympics, the other snapshot in Azzurro was for Momo the world expedition to the Philippines while our league has so far known him in Reggio Emilia, a club in which he landed since the youth sector.
