A weighty purchase for the Brianzos.
"Acqua S.Bernardo Pallacanestro Cantù announces it has acquired on a temporary basis from Umana Reyer Venezia the rights to the sports performance of Luca Possamai". This can be read on the club website, which also profiles the newcomer: "Born in Venice on May 10, 2001, Possamai è a center with great physical impact thanks to a height of 212 cm and a weight of 100 kg. He plays his role in the most classic and traditional style, giving his best in the heart of the pitturato and in rebounding".
"I am very proud and proud to be able to join a great companyà like Cantù. – Luca Possamai's first words as a player of Acqua S.Bernardo, reported on the company's website; – I can't wait to meet teammates and fans, and to start this season".
"Luca è one of the best Italian prospects in his role and è a guy who still has room for development. È young, but he already has three seasons in A2 behind him in which he è always grew from year to year. – comments coach Nicola Brienza – È a player with physical and technical characteristics that go to complete our long department and therefore can’give us a big hand over the season".
"Possamai – recalls Cantù – enters very young in the orbit from Reyer, with whom he completes the entire trafilament of the youth sector. A path culminated with a starring victory in the LBA Next Gen Cup in 2020, but in which two prestigious participations in the Euroleague Next Generation Tournament also shine. In the 2020-21 season, Venice offered him his first professional contract, bringing him onto the first team roster, making his debut during the year in Serie A".
"Next, he moved on loan to Chiusi, with which he began to get acquainted with the A2 championship. Venice, which always retains control of his card, chooses to leave him in Tuscany also for the next two years. In the first, he grew in both minutes and in scoring and rebounding averages, earning the role of starting center in the 2023-24 season. In the latter, he è authored another championship on the rise, finishing with an average in the championship round of 7.8 points and 6.1 rebounds per game. Possamai also boasts a very long experience with the youth national teams and a call-up with the Blue Green Team in the summer of 2023", concludes the Cantù website.
