I was in Vegas for summer league last year and this guy was not it. He was completely outplayed. Don’t see him ever getting solid NBA minutes.

Definitely ready for the Henk Norel takeover.

Glad to hear he is doing well but I think he will never come to the NBA. Hard to find a role for a shot creating SG with below average efficiency and no defense. His shooting splits are 42/32/78 in Italian league and 41/28/83 in Euroleague. Bolmaro looked miles better than Spagnolo.

I’m a season pass holder for Trento. He is not that good. He is decent, showed some flashes and he had some nice game, but he is not great in anything (the lack of consistency is understandable, he is still very young). The shooting is ok, the playmaking is ok and the difense is not sustainable in NBA.
I don’t see enough upside to make him a serviceable bench guy.
(and Trento team was not that bad. It was a decent team, with a mediocre offense but a good difense/rebounding)
EDIT and no, italian league is not “one of the most competitive in europe”. It is probably the worst “big league” in europe, with the worst top teams. Playoff record was 0.46. In Eurolegue both italian teams finished sub 0.500 and far from playoffs. In eurocup 2 out of 3 teams reached playoffs (that have a very low bar, 16 out of 20) and both of them were eliminated in the first round. Greece, turkey, spain, france, esthonia, serbia and israel all have way better team than Italy. Germany is somewhat similar.

If only this were 2K. Those 2nd round overseas stash guys you draft with multiple years start at like 72 overall then you forget about them… and two years later they come over near 80.
Give him an Italian legend’s jersey number, sign a position mentor, send him to a combo guard training camp, and baby you’ve got a stew going.

“He competed with star players like former Minnesota big Anthony Randolph, who led the team in scoring.” LOL

So hold off on the Nikoloz Tskitishvili comparisons?
