Jalen Cannon is one of the American players who’s most highlighted in the Italian A2 Basketball Championship. He arrived in the summer at Fortitudo Moncada Agrigento, preceded by his reputation as an excellent rebounder in spite of the slightly undersized physical dimensions for the role (6 ft. 6 in. x 230 lb.).
But his motto is “Hard work beats talent when talent fails to work hard” and the numbers are giving full confirmation of this: 13.58 PPG; 9.25 RPG; 2.25 APG.
But is also emerging his exceptional physical resistance; the injury of the teammate Paolo Rotondo forced him to work overtime, decreeing his lead in the minutage (37.3), without that which has minimally affected his athletic freshness.
