Vuelle, Trucchetti's only signature is missing. But Leka wants to focus on the playmaker-pivot combination.

A change of direction? Are we going from an American point guard and a center to two American big men? It doesn't seem like it, even though it's almost here—just waiting for official confirmation—for point guard Trucchetti, a 6'1" (1.78 m) winger currently playing with the national team's youth teams and therefore directly under Dalla Salda's watch. It seems that Spiro Leka , along with the entire coaching staff, is determined to continue along the path announced a couple of months ago. Trucchetti or no Trucchetti, the American point guard-center pairing remains within the technical specifications of the new Vuelle .

What level are the Americans? This is a big question because everything will depend on the money the club puts on the table. For now, the notebook is full of names, in both departments, but no one has yet made a move and started sounding out agents precisely because Leka & Co. still don't know what they'll be able to spend, that is, how much the club has available.

To get a clearer picture, we'll have to wait for Dalla Salda 's return to the club. He's currently in Greece with the junior national team, which is playing the final against Lithuania after beating Serbia.

And it's not over, because on top of these problems there are also those concerning the big men's department, the "stumbling block" inherited from last season. Will Zanotti leave and switch sides? It's still unknown. Just as center De Laurentiis is still in town. Whether or not someone moves up in the big men's department, the search could be for two or three players in a market where only the "leftovers" remain, because all the best players have already been snapped up by the half-dozen teams that have closed their rosters.

At this point, with the arrival of Trucchetti, the small forward department is completed with an American point guard, while the discussion regarding the big men's department is still up in the air, considering that Leka has been clear on this aspect from the start: in this sport, you need to grab rebounds, because without them, you won't get very far. And proof of this came last year on the court, when in many games, the team's best rebounder was Ahmad, a guard who wasn't even physically fit enough to...refrigerate.

However, one thing seems certain, given the current course of events for the club: the first person who wakes up in the morning and says the team will return to the derby against Virtus next year needs urgent medical treatment. The one who leaves in September will be another year of relegation, after which, once all the boxes have been cleared out, they can even consider returning to Serie A1. Meanwhile, one of the sons of Pesaro basketball, Pietro Bocconcelli, has ended up at Bakery in Piacenza.
