We have talented young players, but the problem is later: our leagues are full of poor foreigners players and young people aren't given the chance to play. It's the same in football. At the beginning of the 21st century, things were different and players like Belinelli and Bargnani made their Euroleague debuts at the age of 17 or 18. In volleyball we have regulations that are more restrictive for foreign players + they financially promote those clubs that focus on young Italians.

Okay, but our league in the early 2000s was very strong and had a lot of great players, yet there was still a lot of places for young Italians. Now, apart from Milano and Bologna, no other team has very good players and they prefer to sign an average foreigner than invest in a young local player. It`s a problem with mentality, I think.

i think there is a lack of talents everywhere. In our league the teams struggle to find 6 native players that are obliged to have in their squad...

Italian basketball is absent from public television in contrast to volleyball. The previous Eurobasket was on commercial TV. This is only expected to change this year. It was similar for women, who returned to Rai Due this year after a 20-year absence from the quarterfinals of the European Championships.
