Bologna, July 23 –
At 29, ripe for life and for the game, Luca Vildoza took this plane to Bologna, instrumental in confirming his high-level career and making him a caliph of the new young Bianconeri team, as his means let his means flash by how much on the court he reads, passes and shoots.
He is not asked for triple-double scoring, not asked for headline-grabbing numbers but for the ability to carry the ball and contribute to team-building. Strength, craft, timing on the pick and roll the main gifts of someone who can build his shot directly off the dribble while being able to create passing lines to serve his teammates at the right time. Running the ball has always been his prerogative, a choice that once again testifies to his tactical intelligence before the use of the body, even defensively, where he manages to make himself respected by playing more on readings than on the physical. It is no coincidence that in his own half of the field the boy from Mar del Plata often had his biggest problems more in transition than in defending on the ball. A great biography that tells of important squares in Europe until the last cumbersome red-green Greek two-year period, an NBA taste and a deep and mutual acquaintance with coach Ivanovic. Indispensable balance for the new HCL midfield, a designated and designed center of gravity for the new Virtus that will often be called upon to be the tactical protagonist of the games.
