“I come for my dream.” Facundo Campazzo opened his heart a year ago, when the Denver Nuggets added him to their team. The Cordovan base thus fulfilled one of his objectives: to reach the NBA, the best basketball league in the world.
His first season was good and he won the affection of the fans. The team, however, suffered the injuries of several important players and did not perform as expected in the playoffs. Today the goal is to improve.
Facu affirmed that he reaches his second season with the Denver Nuggets full of confidence and optimism to do a much better job than his auspicious debut.
“I am aware that I have to improve things, how to better adapt to the line of triples, but I am convinced that I am on the right path in order to give even more help to the team ”, he declared about his weakness.
In the note with the official site, he made it clear that he must learn much more: “I try to improve as much as I can. The thing for me was that I had to be ready at every opportunity. I keep that on my mind, being 100% ready in every game. “
Campazzo closed the season as a starter in the team due to the injury of the Canadian star Jamal Murray, who had to face an operation on his left knee.
“We know that Jamal will not start the season, we do not know when he will return, I will do my best to cover that, putting my energy there,” said the former Real Madrid player, although he detailed that it is not yet clear who will occupy the Canadian’s position.
Argentines in the NBA
The man from Cordoba, 30 years old, averaged 6.1 points and 3.6 assists per game in his first year, with 35.2% success in triples, a game section that you want to improve.
Unlike the beginning of last season, Campazzo begins the new season with other Argentines in the league, although he acknowledged that he spoke little with his compatriots Gabriel Deck (Oklahoma City Thunder), Luca Vildoza (New York Knicks) and Leandro Bolmaro (Minnesota Timberwolves). ).
“We are all happy to once again have a greater representation of Argentine players in the NBA and that gives us an extra enthusiasm to train and work better with our respective teams“, said.
To win an NBA title you have to have good defense in the Playoffs and that’s what the Nuggets didn’t have. Something Campazzo agrees with as does Denver franchise coach Michael Malone.
