If the market strategy for the external package is already in an advanced and well-defined state, the discourse of the two centers still hangs on the figure of Ousmane Diop . The Italian-trained Senegalese center has attracted the attention of some Italian (Bologna?) and European clubs after his exploits in the last championship, where he averaged 10 points and 5 rebounds in just 19 minutes , which became 12.6 points and 6 rebounds in the playoffs with a slightly higher use of 23 minutes. Figures that are worth those of a foreigner, especially if we consider that Diop is born in 2000 .
And if Milan has already optioned Willie Caruso from Varese, Bologna seems to want to compete, also because Gore Camara undoubtedly has great physique and potential (214cm for the 2001 class) but technically he is two lanes behind Diop. The Senegalese pivot still has one year left on his contract , but so did Polonara and Spissu when they were signed. For Virtus, which also offers the Euroleague, paying a buyout is certainly not a problem.
With Diop remaining, Dinamo would look for a Stephens-like pivot, who guarantees the same defensive strength, but greater danger in attack (almost 7 points and 5 rebounds). If, on the other hand, Diop goes away, you could bet on a starting American center and keep Stephens as substitution : in that case, you could only sign another foreigner, looking for a physically powerful wing guard as well as having a good shot. Unless a trade is made and Camara comes in as the replacement for the starting foreign pivot, in which case you would still have two slots for the extras, guard and small forward.
