Virtus Bologna: the new long will come from the United States
The Virtus Bologna buying campaign, up to this point, has been truly remarkable. Without a shadow of a doubt, Carsen Edwards is the most prestigious market coup but there are so many operations put in place by the Black Vs’ management.
In fact, only one piece is missing to complete the 2025/26 roster. Both coach Dusko Ivanovic and general manager Paolo Ronci are in no hurry. The long man will come but he will be selected with utmost care and waiting for the right opportunity.
The only certainty is that he will be American. Virtus Bologna, in fact, is trying to figure out if some talent will not make it to the NBA so they can have more choices. As is well known, in a few weeks, the rosters of the NBA franchises will be finalized and someone will be disappointed.
At that point, Virtus Bologna will make its move. Among the many names circulating would be that of Charles Bassey. The Nigerian long, 24 years old, has already had experience in the NBA, with the shirts of Philadelphia and San Antonio. Also on his trail would be Partizan Belgrade. Virtus Bologna remains at the window, weighing every detail. In short, there’s no rush for the final piece to complete the 2025/26 roster of the reigning Champions of Italy. Most of the work has already been done.
