Daniele Magro (born April 14, 1987) is an Italian professional basketball player who plays for Pistoia Basket 2000 of the Italian League as a center.
Personal life
He is the nephew of former player Luigi Magro who had a career in the lower leagues and inspired Daniele to become a basketball player.
His grandmother owns a restaurant, Bion in his hometown Padua where his parents also work.[1]
Professional career
After failing to make the first team of Benetton Treviso, only making the bench once in a team that was the best in Italy at the time, he moved on to the lower divisions.
Playing for his home town club Gattamelata Padova he caught the eye of Legadue club Reyer Venezia who recruited him before loaning him out to clubs in the division below. He joined the club for good for the 2011-2012 season by which time the team had been promoted to the first division where he finally made his debut. He was part of the team's successful adaptation to the Serie A, wherein they reached the play-offs in their first two seasons although they were eliminated in the first round.
Magro joined newly promoted Pistoia Basket 2000 for the 2014-15 season.[2]
