The new faces of UNAHOTELS Reggio Emilia for the 2023/2024 season are revealed. This morning at the PalaBigi it was the turn of Lorenzo Uglietti and Sasha Grant, presented by Sport Director Filippo Barozzi, who opened the conference: “We present two guys who share important qualities in modern basketball: flexible players with great physicality and energy.” . Lorenzo Uglietti is a versatile winger, capable of doing the little things that are necessary in games that don’t always show in the stats. He’s a defensive mastiff who can break the pace of the game. Sasha Grant, on the other hand, is a welcome return: a modern, versatile player who can cover multiple positions. It’s nice to bring home an athlete who grew up in our nursery. This year he won’t be the only one and I’m not only talking about the players but also about the technical staff, just think of the characters of Mangone and Rossetti . A beautiful message that we should pass on as a society.”
Lorenzo Uglietti continued: “It’s an honor to wear this jersey. Ever since I got the first indications that I could come to Reggio Emilia, I’ve had really positive feedback from both the club and the fans, whether I’m talking to friends, former team-mates or opponents.” I can’t wait to meet him. The decision was therefore an easy one for us, and the fact that we were able to work with a technical and managerial staff with international experience who can breathe new life into Italian basketball made it even easier for us. I see a good mix of young players and experienced players. I can’t wait until the squad is complete to work with everyone and have fun on the pitch.”
Finally it was Sasha Grant’s turn: “I am very happy to return to Pallacanestro Reggiana. I played here between the ages of 14 and 15, I have wonderful memories of both the city and the people. I spoke to the coach and the GM and from their words I understood that they had a plan for me and my growth. That’s why I think this company is the right place to become a better player. I’ve seen a team that really wants to work in those first few days. For my part, I will always see someone who gives 100% in every training session and in every game, above all to prove to myself that I belong in this championship, which I’m playing for the first time.”
