Milanese's career path and ambitions

Fabio Milanese returned to Pau in 2025 after stints in the NM1 league and expressed a desire to reach EuroLeague during an interview with BeBasket in April. His coach, Mickaël Hay, praised Milanese's ability to handle the ball and his "real burst of power," comparing him to other guards like Thomas Cornely and Mike Flowers.

Milanese's development and challenges

After five games in the Betclic ELITE, Milanese averages 9.2 points, 3 rebounds, and 3.8 key passes per game in 21 minutes. While his performance has been inconsistent, recent matches show improvement in his offensive output. Milanese has been working on finishing after contact and improving decision-making speed.

Support system and early basketball journey

Milanese benefits from individual training sessions with Adrien Demiselle, the team's third assistant, and from video analysis. He started playing basketball with Garonne Avenir Basket and joined Élan Béarnais' training center after playing for JSA Bordeaux. His career path included stints with CEP Lorient and Mulhouse before returning to Pau.

Team dynamics and future goals

Milanese credits Thomas Cornely for helping him adjust to the Betclic ELITE, and the arrival of Gregor Hrovat has provided additional support. Teammate Gide Noël highlighted Milanese's dedication and ability to take on responsibilities despite his inexperience. Milanese remains focused on EuroLeague but is committed to improving with the team and himself.
