Virtus Bologna is pursuing Nico Mannion, sources told Sportando, and the two sides are discussing the length of the contract, a source added.<\/p>\n
The Italian-American point guard has spent his first season in the NBA averaging 4.5ppg, 2.3apg and 1.5apg in 30 contests with the Warriors.<\/p>\n
Chris Chiozza was Virtus Bologna\u2019s main target but the guard decided to accept the two-way contract offered by the Warriors.<\/p>\n
Mannion is a restricted free agent in the NBA after the Warriors extended the qualifying offer two weeks ago.<\/p>\n
The Arizona product has recently played at Olympics with Italy\u2019s NT averaging 12.5ppg, 1.8rpg and 4.5apg.<\/p>\n
Another name on Virtus Bologna\u2019s radars is Jaleen Smith, a profile the Italian champions are following since months. The guard averaged 15.2ppg, 5rpg and 5.3apg in Bundesliga with Ludwigsburg.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
