First good news weve heard in a while, i hope its true http://www.eurohoops.net/featured/261949/alessandro-gentile-maybe-it-was-my-last-game-with-milano
Great find! I hope he's healthy and they bring him over. Wonder what his injuries were this season? Sounds like he had a difficult year.
So is he any good? Can anyone provide a breakdown of his skill set; preferably someone who's actually seen the guy play?

iso midrange off the dribble, good at using his body to create separation but slow release on his shot, a bit immature in mindset
hard to say how his game will translate. in pringles' offense he can rack up some easy baskets just moving off the ball. but his 3 is unreliable and he's used to having the ball in his hands for iso's. compared to papa he's a much better finisher, but with a lot less intangibles
his lateral quickness is not up to nba standards but he'll probably try at least. he can be a feisty player at times. probably won't see much time his rookie year anyways
