He’s known as the Chef within the Myerscough set up, and definitely Edo Del Cadia has all the ingredients to become the next big thing in the EABL. The Italian has started a revolution in the competition, and has done so from the forward position, playing like the only true big man in his team, and shooting the lights out every night around England. Often he’s been unbelievable in iso plays and clutch time. Simply put, nobody in the EABL can make his numbers and at the same rate: Edo is a skilled high-level player, and much more than just a shooter. Strong and versatile, he likes to start the play from the 3pt line, but then he can create off the bounce and leave defenders behind, and also finish at the rim no matter bodies, getting a good fare of And1s thanks to his notable athleticism. His footwork is good as well, but creating his own shot with the back to the basket is far less usual in his game, since his strong point is facing up. Edo has a good motor, works well cutting towards and around the basket, and despite not having elite size, he’s extremely competitive on the boards. In addition, he runs the court and thrills in transition, unusual for a guy with his frame, time and again driving himself the ball and being able to change speed and direction. Translating this ability to 5v5 game will be key to his professional future, giving him the edge over quicker defenders. Staying in front of smaller players will help his D evolution, and next to his fighter approach and shooting ability will at some point deserve a place in the Italy U20 programme. Del Cadia is certainly knocking at its door this year.
