Nba, Banchero awaiting the 2022 draft: “I feel I am the best, and the intention is to play for Italy”

A few days separate us from the Draft Nba 2022and among the first calls that commissioner Adam Silver will make on the night between Thursday and Friday there will also be the Italian-American Paolo Banchero. “I am excited for what is about to happen: mine has been a long journey to get here, I have worked a lot to deserve all of this. Waiting for a call to the Draft is surreal, but at the same time I am aware that we are at the beginning and that only after being chosen does the real work begin “. These are the first words in an interview granted to Sky Sport of the talent coming from Duke University, which should have secured a call within the first three choices. “I feel like I’m the best talent in the draft. There are so many great prospects to select, but I feel I can prove my worth at every level: I know I have enormous room for improvement. My best feature? The versatility and specifically the ability to pass the ball and put my teammates in ideal conditions “.

Finally, a message for the many Italian fans who have been waiting for their debut with the national team for more than two years: “Italy? I intend to come soon, I don’t know exactly when and I haven’t set a timetable, but I will come. My intention is also to play for the national team “.
