The Italian League derby in Round 14 brings several stellar matchups. One of them features Stefano Tonut of Umana Reyer Venice and Isaia Cordinier of Virtus Segafredo Bologna.
Major matchup: Tonut, Reyer vs. Cordinier, Virtus



Tonut always makes sure he does a little bit of everything to help Reyer as much as possible. It is shown in his stats as he averages 10.7 points with 84.2% free throw shooting, 3.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists and a PIR of 17. Tonut, however, did not have a great night against Virtus in Round 5, finishing the game scoreless and getting a PIR of -1 in a 90-84 losing effort. Tonut is a smart player who finds advantages in one-on-one opportunities, either attacking the rim or finding the open teammate for an easier shot.

In that sense, Cordinier is a similar player, more explosive and physical but less experienced than Tonut. He had a stellar performance against Reyer in Round 5 with 13 points on perfect shooting, 3 rebounds and 4 fouls drawn for a PIR of 15. He is averaging 9.7 points on good shooting numbers (69.4% 2FG, 41.7% 3FG, 81.0% FT), 3.1 rebounds and a PIR of 10.8. Cordinier was named to the 2020-21 All-EuroCup First Team and can change any game with his outstanding dunks and all-around energetic contribution.
