Olimpia Milano, Mirotic-LeDay dreamy but need to be managed

The rebirth of the EA7 passes through its two star players

Olimpia, thanks to the feat on the court of Fenerbahce, has reached 50 percent in Euroleague wins (6-6 is the current record). Most importantly, it has won five of the last six games played in Europe’s top club competition. The credit? All of them but, in particular, Mirotic and LeDay.

Both are playing at stratospheric levels. The former Barcelona man is traveling at an average of 18.5 points in the Euroleague. In the last four outings, he has maintained an average of 24 points per lace-up (29 against Fenerbahce). No kidding LeDay, the most consistent since the start of the season: 15.6 points per single game average in the Euroleague.

The latter è the true balancer of Coach Messina’s team. In any role he is engaged, he manages to be incisive. It is no coincidence that Messina relies heavily on him on both sides of the court. His energy è often decisive in the hot moments of the various games.

Now, però, the coach of Olimpia Milano must also be good at managing them. In such a long and wearisome season, è it is unthinkable that Mirotic and LeDay can play all the time and with a very high intensity every game. They will probably be rested in some championship games, although giving up their talent and leadership is not è at all easy.
