Seven foreigners in training: never happened before. The arrival of Rashan Thomas brought not only his unmistakable smile but also abundance for coach Massimo Bulleri who was finally able to have 12 players to work at PalaSerradimigni.

Thomas appeared a little thinner than six years ago. He showed energy and a desire to quickly integrate with the group. The white-blue coach used him mainly as a pivot and Thomas was hired to cover the absence of Nate Renfro, who will probably have to sit out until the end of March.

Rashawn Thomas is unlikely to be used in the Europe Cup against Cholet tomorrow, but he is more likely to be seen on the pitch against Milan on Saturday in front of fans who enthusiastically welcomed his return.
