With Lessor and Petrusev his list ESPN with the players who competed with their national teams in the Paris Olympics and could move to the USA and the NBA!
The popular Medium singled out seven players who impressed at the Olympic basketball tournament and deserve a shot at the top basketball league on the planet, making special mention of Matias Lessor and Filip Petrusev.
“The 28-year-old was efficient, hitting 2/3 of the shots he took in the tournament. He was thick and tough on offense, as he showed with his spin move in front of Jrue Holiday in the final. The Orlando Magic, who are full at guard, but weaker on the front line, would be a good fit for Lessor.”ESPN’s Chris Herring said characteristically about the center of Panathinaikos, while about the Serbian forward of Olympiakos he added:
“Petrushev, still 24 years old, logged just 10 minutes in the NBA last season before being traded and released by the Kings to sign with Olympiakos. But with what he showed in the Olympics — roughly 10 points per game in 23 minutes per game out of the top five — he still deserves a chance in the NBA as he enters the prime of his career. A team that doesn’t rely on pace like the Indiana Pacers would be a good fit for him if Indiana decides third-choice center James Wiseman isn’t their go-to..
ESPN’s list also includes the names of Gerson Yabuselli, Bruno Campoclo, Josh Hawkinson, Karlik Jones and Willie Ernagometh.
