Aradori grabbed his chance, with good performances against Barcelona and even more so against Asseco Prokom, the second earning him Euroleague Week 10 MVP honours. Despite this, he remained a substitute at Siena, moving to rival Serie A side Pallacanestro Cantù in July 2012 on a two-year deal. There he became a starter, helping Cantù progress from the qualifying rounds to the 2012–13 Euroleague group stage where he averaged 15 points, 4 rebounds and 1.5 steals in 30 minutes for a PIR of 15.4.
