Bolmaro, who signed with Minnesota on September 18 from Barcelona, Spain, played just four minutes against the Houston Rockets so far this NBA season.
The idea of the franchise is for the Argentine to add experience and continue to develop in the various aspects of the competition: throughout the season, Bolmaro can be called at any time to rejoin the Timberwolves roster.
Along with Bolmaro, Minnesota also sent the Iowa Wolves to point guard. McKinley Wright IV.
With the departure of Bolmaro, in the main NBA competition there are now two Argentines: Facundo Campazzo, in the Denver Nuggets, and Gabriel Deck, en Oklahoma City Thunder.
Bolmaro and his first week in the NBA
It was known that Leandro Bolmaro was going to have very few minutes, it is a project, they take care of it and they slowly release it so you can take confidence. Only in one game did he enter, he looked good and facing the hoop with speed and very athleticism. He scored two points in a 124-106 win over Houston and played four minutes and 40 seconds.
His first play was to grab the base, put a change of pace and send himself very athletically to the basket, winning the position very well. We believe that it is a matter of time, his adaptation is on the right track and, as we said before, having Pablo Prigioni at his side is a plus. For now, he will continue in the subsidiary team of the G-League, Iowa Wolves, to add more minutes.
This Wednesday he closed his first week (3-1 record) with a great victory against the visiting Bucks 113 to 108 without minutes for the Cordovan.
Minnesota will play again on Saturday 30 at 10 p.m. of our country, at home, against Facu Campazzo’s Denver.
