Innocenti is a bodily, athletic, lengthy wing at 6’5”. On offense, he likes to play in transition and may act as a secondary ball handler. His stats don’t soar off the web page however his affect on the defensive finish certain does. The Bergamo, Italy native has wonderful defensive instincts and timing. He makes his cash when he will get out within the passing lanes and turns protection into offense.

I’d say that may be a fairly respectable alternate of gamers. Innocenti gained’t see a ton of minutes in his first season with the Zags however you will notice him in sure defensive conditions, when foul bother arises, or presumably within the closing of video games. He nonetheless has three years of eligibility so he’s a undertaking participant with a ton of upside. The younger defender could be a future key piece to this program.
This defensive specialist being added to the roster simply proves how a lot depth the Zags actually have. Gonzaga now has 11 scholarship gamers on the roster with 2 obtainable to be given out. Will a rim protector and a backup level guard be the final two finds by way of the switch portal?
