Athletic and strong, Moraschini is more oriented to drive than to shoot, his athletic abilities allow him to obtain fouls even against taller players or score close to the basket. However his biggest weakness is his shot that he needs to develop to have a career at the highest level.
Professional career
After working his way through the youth ranks of Virtus Bologna he made his Serie A, and Euroleague, debut in 2007-2008, however he only started to play consistent minutes from 2009-10. Struggling to break into a strong team, he was loaned to fellow Serie A side Angelico Biella for the second part of the 2010-11 season and then to Legadue side Sant'Antimo the following season in order to play more.
After still not holding a starting place following these loans and the 2012-13 season he moved on to rival Acea Virtus Roma on a 1 year contract. With Virtus he would play in the Eurocup and reach the play-off semifinals, however he did not convince the team to extend his contract and became a free agent.
He then moved to Serie A2 side Dinamica Mantova.
On July 20, 2016, Moraschini signed with the Italian team Aquila Basket Trento.
Euroleague / Eurocup
Note: The EuroLeague is not the only competition in which the player participated for the team during the season. He also played in domestic competition, and regional competition if applicable.
Italian national team
He started in the under age categories of the Italian national basketball team, most notably winning the silver medal at the 2011 FIBA Europe Under-20 Championship where he was a starter, before joining the senior team first in 2011 and then on a regular basis from 2013, playing a marginal part in FIBA EuroBasket 2015 qualification in which they qualified for FIBA EuroBasket 2015.
