Olimpia Milano, Ettore Messina is ready to give him a chance

In Euroleague, only two appearances for the Blue playmaker

Compounded by the injury suffered by Pangos (knee problems, out for at least six weeks), Coach Messina will perforce have to give more space to Baldasso, who will alternate in the role of playmaker with Mitrou-Long (with Hall still lending a hand, even though it is not his natural role).

For the 1998-born Italian a great chance to show off. In the Euroleague, to date, he has only taken the court on two occasions (just over 14′ of total usage) and, in the league, he plays an average of 9.7′ per game. Now his minutes will grow. As early as today’s challenge on Treviso’s court, it is more than likely that Baldasso will be able to play with more continuity. A good thing for Azzurri coach Pozzecco as well.
