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.”

Facu Campazzo’s agent Claudio Villanueva talked about the rumor mill surrounding the Argentinian guard’s name in regards to the NBA in a recent interview with basketplus.com. Although there is ‘low to moderate’ interest in the player by the Dallas Mavericks per reports, his agent explains that there is nothing concrete to date.

“That (interest) was born from a tweet that came out of Croatia that spoke of Campazzo in the NBA. I’m going to tell you something, just to be clear. In the past two years, during the season, NBA scouts have spoken to me a thousand times to ask. If you add to that the players continue to evolve… Campazzo, I said it 3 years ago, is the best guard in Europe, and being the best guard in Europe means being one of the 3 best players in Europe. If the NBA does not keep an eye on one of the best, it would be crazy”, said Villanueva. “There is nothing concrete, there is nothing spoken, and also today the NBA does not know how they will end and if they end the season, how the other one will play out or start. They don’t know the salary cap. So if you tell me, did they ask you about Campazzo? I tell you yes, a thousand times. But today there is nothing concrete”, he added.

According to Argentina coach Jorge Hernandez, Campazzo had already had opportunities to join an NBA team, but only as an inferior option from the bench. Something that isn’t exactly fulfilling for such an action-hankering baller. “Campazzo is a player who needs action and needs to play. Maybe next season, some NBA team will move to sign him, but until now the option he had to go to the NBA was that of a “filler” and third point guard,” Hernandez said to Radio Marca.

One could say that Campazzo has been building a compelling argument to be considered as something more than a tertiary selection by NBA teams. Hernandez certainly believes that this is the case and that his player will make the jump to the NBA. “Now the option to go to the NBA is going to be presented and Facundo is going to take advantage of it because he has broken all the barriers that have been put in front of him and will also break them in the NBA,” Hernandez said.
Facundo Campazzo’s buyout pretty steep

Orazio Cauchi: NBA teams have been on Campazzo for a while now. The interest is definitely there, the main issue remains his buyout, which is really high and not payable by an NBA team unless the player pays an important part by himself. In addition to that, Campazzo is really happy in Madrid.
