Real Madrid has officially signed Gabriele Procida, a 23-year-old Italian small forward, from Alba Berlin. Procida will sign with the team for three seasons, until 2028, with clauses for exit to the NBA. In the past EuroLeague, he averaged 9.7 points, 2.2 rebounds, and 7.7 valuation. The Real Madrid team, led by Sergio Scariolo, will have a compatriot of the coach to mold in the positions of point guard and small forward, in which this international Italian is able to appear. Procida comes from Alba Berlin, where he has played since 2022. The change in that club, which has left the EuroLeague environment to compete in the tournament of the International Federation, the Champions League, has caused the departure of some heavyweights. Gabriele has the quality to continue at the highest continental level and will remain with one of the greats, eleven-time European champions. Previously, in the early stages of his basketball career, he played in Cantù and Fortitudo, marking a third country on the map. Since 2022, his rights in the NBA have been giving tumbles and he, of stash (still in Europe without crossing the Atlantic); so continues. This summer, he valued the American option, but Utah Jazz does not think so. He is seen with progression, and has several viral hits in his spectacular style, but appears in the European radar more than in the American. The numbers, for example, do not call attention excessively until now. Despite shooting with foundation and being a knife when penetrating both in the open field and in static, Procida still fails in the outside shot. In 78 regular season games in the EuroLeague, 25% accuracy; this year, still worse with 21/96 from there. They are 7.9 points per game without being a scorer, yes, but his 1.96 meters do not serve to stand out with a good rebounding: 1.9. Confidence is placed in the progression of the Italian. He was elected two seasons ago as the best young player in the EuroLeague. He arrives to refresh the perimeter after the departure of Hugo to the Celtics, a profile with similarities in pros and cons, so that men like Abalde in defense and Krämer in attack can help as point guards. It was one of the two that wanted to improve in Madrid, where the captain Llull will continue and the French Maledon will experiment. Without Xavier Rathan-Mayes and with Hezonja increasingly displaced towards the interior, Gabriele could start to stand out already.
