Allianz Pazienza: A1 shot for coach Pilot
A1 shot for Allianz Pazienza
Allianz Pazienza Cestistica Città di San Severo has announced that it has acquired the services of the athlete Edward Lee Daniel; a true top player, an absolute guarantee, absolute lord of the pitturato, powerful and at the same time athletic.
Ed (203cm 102 kg) was born in Alabama in 1990 and played his entire college career with Murray State, ending his last season as a senior with important numbers (13 points and 10 rebounds average per game). He arrived as a rookie in Italy, in Serie A1 with Pistoia’s jersey in 2014 and stamped 9 points 8 rebounds per game. In 2014/2015 he moved to OpenjobMetis Varese and, again in Serie A, averaged almost 10 points and 7 rebounds before signing in the current season (February 2015) for Vanoli Cremona (7.3 points and 8.4 rebounds average). His first and only experience in A2 series dates back to 2015/2016, when in Fortitudo Bologna jersey he is among the protagonists of the ride of the Felsinei, with his 13.8 points, 9.7 rebounds and 2.3 assists average. Experiences around Europe followed, wearing the Maccabi Ashdod jerseys (2016/2017, in the Israeli top league), Champagne Chalons-Reims Basket (2017/2018, in the French A1 Jeep Elite), Peristeri GS Athens (2018/2019, in the Greek A league), again Lavoropiù Fortitudo Bologna (2019/2020, A1) where he proves to always be a factor, regardless of the franchise and category. In the last two years there was a move to the highest Hellenic category to defend the colors of GS Iraklis Thessaloniki (with which he also gained experience in the Champions League), before moving in March 2021 to KB Rahoveci in Kosovo, collecting 17.1 points, 10.3 rebounds and 1.5 assists on average and also reaching the semifinal of the championship. Last season as an absolute totem in Scafati jersey where, with 11 points 8 rebounds, and (as they say in those parts) ‘cazzimma’ to sell he is one of the architects of the promotion to A1 of the formation of President Longobardi.
“You have no idea how charged and ready I am for this new adventure in San Severo. I can’t wait to meet you all, guys! We have a long, difficult but at the same time exciting season ahead of us, and right from the first match we have to raise our concentration and try to win every game. Each time we will step on the parquet as if it were a final and give our all for this jersey. I have very positive feelings; with our fans we will have fun. Stay close to us, I’m coming!” said the new center of the Apulian team.
