Bologna –
On the doorstep of a season at the Euroleague ball, Segafredo will also restart with the new, aces that Europe and America have given it. With Jordan Mickey, the focus is on the former, understood as Euroleague experience, a cup he knows from 2018 when he landed in the Old Continent at Khimki, carving the competition for four seasons also with Real Madrid and Zenit.
Globally, in the highest tournament her over 23 minutes of average, 12.5 points and almost 5 rebounds photograph all the peculiarities of a pawn who presents herself as a power forward but whose ductility allows her to spend important minutes as a center as well, able to open the court, build shots independently and guarantee caroms. Initially skilled mainly behind the basket, over the years he has added the ability to hit from distance, a choice that today makes him more than ever a bivalent long. Waiting for him to be inserted into the new mechanism is a necessary caution, but hoping that from Mickey this new Segafredo can pull important resources is just as immediate: in fact, in the last Euroleague season the Texan from Dallas went from an average of almost 24 minutes in the first half to over 30 in the last two months, before the break last March 22 with Zenit fifth in the regular season. To the statistics lovers in 2018 with Khimki Mickey gave those 14.2 points and 5 rebounds that earned him the call of Real for a season, before returning among the Moscow yellow-blues in the year unfortunately interrupted by Covid, finally turning to Zenit St. Petersburg: VTB League win and the title of MVP in the finals.
