According to the fans, Francesco “Ciccio” Pellegrino is the MVP 2021 of the Apu Old Wild West. The poll promoted by the Juventus club through its social profiles ended with the overwhelming victory of the Sicilian pivot, who collected 52% of the votes, detaching the other two candidates: Marco Giuri, second with 27% of the votes, and the captain Michele Antonutti, third with 21%.

For Pellegrino a nice gratification and a smile in a bitter moment, due to the positivity at Covid that emerged on Tuesday. Contagion aside, “Ciccio” from Gela concludes 2021 by taking the last two covers: the MVP title of the calendar year follows that of best player in the match on Thursday 23 December, at home against Reale Mutua Torino. The choice of the Udine fans is widely acceptable, because Pellegrino is undoubtedly the player who has increased his performance the most in the last twelve months. After the initial difficulties in the relationship with Boniciolli, who always prodded him to push him to give more, the center of the APU changed gear and guaranteed quality and continuity in its performance.

In the fantastic Juventus spring, with a ride up to the Coppa Italia finals and the promotion play-offs, there is also his stamp. From one season to the next, nothing has changed. Pellegrino is now a player with confidence, massive doses of self-esteem have made him a fundamental pawn. The figures speak for him. Last year in the regular season he was traveling at 4.2 points, 3 rebounds and 0.5 blocks per game, with an average use of 11.7 minutes. This year the average is 6.9 points, 5.5 rebounds and 1.6 blocks with usage increased to 19.1 minutes per game. In fact, the APU is pivoting two pivots almost scientifically, given that Walters plays 20.5 minutes on average. Because “Ciccio” Pellegrino is no longer a second line, he is a solid and reliable center. And, an aspect that is anything but secondary, he has learned to love the uniform he wears and the land in which he lives. –
