Bologna –
Among the first the tricolor additions of the bianconera summer emerges Riccardo Visconti, 2 meters short, class of 1998, a swingman in the midfield, coming from the two-year Pesaro season where in the league he finished last season with 29 tokens, 7.3 points and 1.7 rebounds.
For a boy predestined for basketball, mom Anna and dad Frank players in Turin, his hometown, sister Alessandra for years in the top women’s league, the virtussina stop comes at the right time, not without a legitimate pride for what he has done so far. The court will soon tell which roads this ambitious project will take, for which she will be available to integrate her recognized defensive quality, in a set-up that may change minutes and form between the league and the Euroleague.
Indeed, from Visconti’s hands often come not only baskets, but also some decisive plays at the defensive level, as well as tactical intelligence in understanding when and how to spend a foul to help the team. Personality and growth that also brought him to Azzurro, in whose debut against Ukraine at the first ball touched he put a triple, and today to Virtus. Quite frankly, a challenge that will not be able to scratch a boy who at just 12 years old, heading to Venice, was willing to leave home for career reasons, managing to combine Italian and European experiences (Champions) with a degree. In Laguna also 2 scudetti: one under 18 in 2016, the one with the big boys the following year.
