Giacomo Devecchi made his debut in Lega Basket Serie A with Olimpia Milano in 2001. In 2004 he went to Sutor Montegranaro, but he was later loaned to Dinamo Sassari in 2006 in the second-tier of the Italian league pyramid, Serie A2.[1] With Dinamo Sassari he achieved the promotion to LBA beating 3–1 Veroli Basket in the playoffs.
In July 2010 he signed a contract with Sassari for one season.[2] At the end of the 2011-12 season his team got the 4th place in the League table, and they were eliminated just at the playoffs' semifinals. So in July 2012 the Club decided to renew the contract with Devecchi for three more seasons.[3] In 2016 he became the new team captain.[4]
Devecchi is a first cousin of NBA player Danilo Gallinari.
