Roberto Chiacig
CHIACIG, Roberto
STRENGTHS: Big-sized center with the characteristics of a true 5. Difficult to root him out, he likes the physical contact. He likes to play near the basket and has the technique for it. Possesses an array of solution, like the hook and he can finish with either hand. Does a good job of going inside on the Pick & Rolls. He is an intimidating player in the paint and he’s a factor on the boards. CAREER: He has been one of the best centers in Europe for many years after some difficult debuts in Treviso and Fortitudo, Italy. As he was a focal point in the Italian national team, he played at his best in Siena when coach Ataman arrived. He has never received the acknowledgement he deserved and was discarded by the NBA. In recent years, his playing time has diminished, and his confidence and impact slumped, so he went to the lower level, in Italy’s second division. EVALUATION: He needs a team that believes in his capacity and gives him an important role. He was favoured by his move to the ACB where he found many players with his characteristics while he struggled to find playing time in the modern game. His main difficulties came from the fact that he did not accept the changes and to be reduced to limited tasks. When he is motivated, he is still an excellent center.
