Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic …
Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic believes that his former Real Madrid teammate Facu Campazzo has what it takes to make the jump to the NBA. “I’m glad he comes here. He deserves to be in the NBA and I hope he succeeds [making the NBA],” Doncic said in a zoom call following the loss to the Houston Rockets when asked if he’s followed the rumors and reports on Campazzo leaving Real Madrid for the NBA.

Darren Wolfson: Reiterating what I said on an earlier July podcast about #Timberwolves interest in Campazzo: He’s always going to be on their radar as long as Pablo is on staff. But let’s see where they land in Draft first, & if going PG there makes sense. Still is early on any potential move.

Orazio Cauchi: One of the most interesting situations to follow on the market in the coming week is gonna be Real Madrid and his PG situation. There’s still uncertainty around Campazzo, who might leave for the NBA, and if he actually leaves, Real will need a top recruitment to replace him.

Claudio Villanueva (Facundo Campazzo’s agent): “In Argentina there’s huge expectations about Facundo going to the NBA. I’d like that to happen too, but there’s absolutely nothing.”
“This summer will be difficult for both …
“This summer will be difficult for both European and NBA teams,” admitted Nocioni, “I believe that Facundo will have offers. For Madrid, it would be a huge loss but coupled with significant financial compensation that can allow the club to move forward.” “When I left Baskonia in 2004, most believed that the team would not recover but afterward made it to four straight Final Fours,” he added recalling his NBA move, “At Madrid, I retired and the following season the team won the EuroLeague again. Then Doncic left. The losses can be significant and hurt, but there is always a way to recover.”
Another Real star on the radar of NBA …
Another Real star on the radar of NBA teams is Deck. Concluding, Nocioni shared his view on the future of the 25-year-old Argentinian forward. “He is still making his case. He can make the jump, but currently seems more difficult,” he estimated, “I know that there is some NBA interest, but not as open as Campazzo.”
