Udine’s ball movement and scoring options make this an appealing matchup. Cantù struggled to contain individual attacks and protect the paint in their opener. The connection between those defensive problems and Udine’s mix of creators, scorers and big men is what drives my judgement.
Žan Šiško supplied nine assists against Scafati, with Andrea Calzavara adding five from the bench. Raequan Battle and Denzel Valentine give that passing game scoring outlets, while Nick McGlynn and Eimantas Bendžiūs add different options in the frontcourt. Udine also finished with a 40–27 rebounding advantage, including nine boards from Skylar Spencer.
Cantù fell behind 13–0 against Venezia and spent the match trying to recover. Frank Vitucci identified problems defending one-on-one and in the paint, alongside wasted offensive opportunities. Udine’s ability to involve several scoring roles gives them a direct way to test those areas, while their work on the glass provides support against Cantù’s interior attack.
