The Frates team consisted of players of the caliber Kiwane Garris, Alvin Young, Ray Tutt, Marcelo Damião, the experience of Claudio Pol Bodetto, and talented young people like Marco Stain and Angelo Gigli. The red and white leadership can not but reaffirm the Milan coach for next season, 2004-05 disputandola in the top division. Frates for this season will be full of successes, starting especially from the confirmations of Garris (which will then be elected one of the best players in the league), Damião, Stain and Gigli (season in which young talents of the white and the nursery will be noticeable from different teams league), the important grafts Paul McPherson, Sam Hines, Ken Lacey, the addition expert's point guard Stephen Attruia, and youth passed from the nursery to the first team as Giorgio Boscagin and Franco Best.
