A very important issue for her national of Italy is if o Paolo Bankero she will choose to fight with her colors.
The father of the rookie of the season in the NBA is Italian and his mother is American, and he was born in the USA, so he has a right to choose.
However, like the president of the Italian federation, so also the coach of the Italian national team, Gianmarco Pocecostated that the facts have changed and perhaps the player will choose the USA due to the launch of his career.
“We have to recognize that the scenario has changed. The Italian Federation has identified a great talent, who is also endowed with excellent moral principles. Due to COVID, he couldn’t come earlier. Then it developed beyond the most optimistic predictions”he admitted Pocheko.
“We are happy because he deserved it, but now his choice is more difficult. Bankero is an extremely serious person, not only focused on himself, and he has clear ideas. He has a way of playing and understanding basketball at such a level that he can adapt anywhere. We were dreaming and keeping our hopes alive, but everything has changed. He’ll get back to us in time, I’m sure. In the meantime, we’re moving on”continued the Italian technician.
The 20-year-old ace had a very good first season in the NBA with the Orlando averaging 20 points, 6.9 rebounds and 3.7 assists.
