Nico Mannion marks his return in Italy with an excellent debut wearing the Openjobmetis Varese jersey.
Mannion was the top scorer and leader in the clutch moments of the road win against Carpegna Prosciutto Pesaro.
The Italian national team point guard scored 26 points with 4 rebounds and 5 fouls drawn:
“Before playing, I did only one practice with the team, but we worked well and the scouting prepared by the staff also helped me.”
“I am happy to be in Varese and to be back in Italy. I want to thank everyone who gave me support-I really received a fantastic welcome. I’m just happy to be here playing.”
“How can I help the team? I will do whatever is needed and whatever the coach asks me to do. I’m not in the best shape now, especially in my legs but I want to get back to top form as soon as possible and be more present also on defense.”
