Italy, Banchero already speaks blue: “I will do my best to help Pozzecco’s team”

After Andrea Bargnani in 2006, Italbasket will have a player in their team called to the first pick of the Draft. There’s still nothing official, but Paolo Banchero’s words to the Fiba microphones smack a lot of blue: “Italy played some excellent games and I loved the way they played against Serbia, showing an incredible defense and great movement up front. The way the team play is fantastic, really impressive to see. The passion and drive they have is fantastic, as is that of the manager and staff.”

The Orlando Magic player is enthusiastic about the group coached by Pozzecco: “We have a very good team and the future is rosy, that’s for sure. We play a team sport and the most important thing is the group, not the individual. To win, you have to have the best players and play together. When I play for the national team I will be another player, and I will strive to be the best possible companion, example and player to help Italy. I am excited to be able to contribute to the team sooner or later and achieve great results”. At the beginning of December, the blue delegation will fly to the States to snatch the fateful and hopeful yes, to see one of the most important prospects on the world scene wearing the Italy shirt.
