Sunday evening's debut will be at the PalaSerradimigni (6:00 PM) against Montecatini. For Dinamo, it's a re-debut in the A2 championship after 16 years in Serie A. For the brand-new team and new coach Luca Vitali, it's their debut in front of their home crowd after their impressive win in Milan against Urania.

Sean Flood, the Irish point guard signed in record time after separating from Brandon Young due to an injury that couldn't be recovered quickly, made his debut. "And we're disappointed because he had settled in well both technically and personally," said the white-and-blue coach.

Flood is physically and technically closer to Canadian Kajami-Keane, whose return isn't expected until November. He's a normal physique (187cm), but has a strong temperament and a very accurate three-point shot, as demonstrated in his many European seasons where he rarely dropped below 38%.

The Irishman trained with the group last night and this morning. Clearly, we can't expect great things, but even ten minutes on the court are precious for a Banco di Sardegna team without Michele Vitali and Riccardo Pisano, and with Jeff Brooks recovering from the flu.
