Paolo Banchero: I will play for the Italian National Team, I’m excited

Paolo Banchero says: «I’m switching to play for the Italian National Team and join that program, I’m excited».

“They sent me this, this is dope”, Banchero says referring to a number 1 Italian NT jersey. “I’m switching to play for the Italian National Team and join that program, I’m excited. Nico Mannion is over there, Danilo Gallinari, Donte DiVincenzo is about to start playing, so they have some guys over there: why not be different? Playing in Italy gives you so many marketing opportunities, just being in Italy is such a cool experience, and it’s a good basketball: being my age and be able to play with Pros is really gonna help me to expand my game and take me to a whole new level. I’m excited, they’re excited, I think this is going to be a ‘Match made in heaven’ for sure”.
