Gabriele Procida

PROCIDA- QUALITY SHOOTER WITH SIZE

Procida spent 5 years in Cantù (3 with the youth sector + 2 with the first team) and 1 year with Fortitudo Bologna in the Italian First Division before being drafted 36th overall pick by the Blazers and sent to Detroit. After showing some promising development over the last year, the Italian SG brings great positional size and projects himself as a quality shooter. The Italian wing is bouncy in space and has good size for a wing prospect at 6-foot-7 with a wingspan of 6-8. Procida fits a specific mold in the NBA as a dynamic shooter; the “Pallacanestro Cantù” product is a 3&D type of player. He’s a stash candidate who won’t be in the NBA for a while and will likely continue his career in Europe. Alba Berlin, a Euroleague team, recently expressed interest in him.

PROCIDA- STASH WORTH INVESTING

Given how congested the Pistons’ roster already is, Detroit picked Procida as an overseas stash.

The shooting is consistent. He does it on the go, with genuine balance, and in easily transferable ways to demonstrate how he’d be used in the NBA.

Procida is an unusual prospect since it is difficult to find exceptional shooters of legitimate size. He has some genuine promise that might convert him into an NBA player as he grows stronger and continues to become more functional as a result of it on a minute-by-minute basis in the game in Europe.

Gabriele Procida: the 2002 Italian swingman got his first professional contract during the summer and found his minutes in Super Cup behind James Woodard and Andrea Pecchia. Tremendous athlete who strengthened his body to withstand the physical requirements of Serie A;. Can vary his scoring as strong driver or three point shooter even tho he still has to find more consistency behind the arc.
