Andres Nocioni: ‘Some NBA team will try to sign Facundo Campazzo this summer’

Andres Nocioni on Facundo Campazzo: “I think that Real Madrid will have to listen to offers from NBA teams this summer. On behalf of his agent, Claudio Villanueva, or some club that wants him, I think that some team is going to try to turn the situation around and bring him to the NBA, that’s the reality. It also seems to me that Madrid is going to have to understand that it is going to be a move that he is going to try to make at some point. It is not easy for the players to make a great decision like Sergio Llull did, not everyone has that mentality of staying in Europe as Sergio has done. Facundo always saw the NBA as a possibility, since he was very young. He is not going to push it, but circumstances are going to make him consider the possibility.”

Thinking about 18 European teams flying from one country to another seems unlikely” Messina said as adapted by basketuniverso.it.

As Scott said to the Spanish newspaper “El Pais”: “If due to sanitary reasons or deadlines it is not possible to play in the 18 team arenas, we would choose to concentrate all the matches in one or two gyms in a single city. The last option would be for the clubs to establish the corresponding modification of the competition format for a more direct resolution”.
