After a six-year hiatus, adidas Eurocamp was back in Treviso, Italy, as the only sanctioned NBA pre-draft camp outside of the United States. As HoopsHype has already spoken to Jabari Smith and Bennedict Mathurin at Eurocamp, basketball executive Gianluca Pascucci, who serves as the scouting director for the event, was nice enough to talk about the event, give insight to draft preparation, and more.

The Timberwolves declined to pick up the option on assistant general manager Gianluca Pascucci’s contract for next season, league sources told The Athletic. Pascucci was one of Rosas’ top lieutenants and oversaw scouting for the draft and the team’s G League affiliate in Iowa. Gupta also hired Steve Senior away from the Memphis Grizzlies for a newly formed position in the front office, sources said. Senior will join the franchise as an assistant general manager in charge of player development. Senior comes from a well-regarded staff in Memphis and has ties to Gupta and Finch when they were all together in Houston. He was also on the New York Knicks staff when Wolves assistant coach Pablo Prigioni played there and has connections to several other Wolves staff members.
