The Nuggets are “clear frontrunners” to add Argentinian point guard Facundo Campazzo, tweets Marc Stein of The New York Times.
Campazzo currently plays for Real Madrid, but has been indicating for months that he plans to come to the NBA. His current deal includes an NBA escape clause, according to Alessandro Maggi of Sportando.
Campazzo, 29, has played overseas since 2008 and has been with Real Madrid since 2014. He is also a member of Argentina’s national team and played in the Olympics in 2012 and 2016.
If Pau Gasol has taught us anything it seems like in Spain 25 is the new 35, and 29 is the new…22?
Quite the name. Sounds straight out of the Assassin’s Creed series (the Italian portion of it)
I imagine “You just got Facundoed!” Will be quite the insult at some point. He got Facundoed right in the keister!
If his nickname isn’t Cappuccino Man I will be disappointed.
Campazzo is an artist with the ball. Great passer and clever. Whoever signs him will never regret it. A great addition as a back up for Murray.
Why Denver? Nugs already have two good PGs. Maybe they asdume Morris is leaving, or at least is bristling about being so long a backup.
That I dont know. They also picked Hampton who is ready to play. I would have thought trams like Mavs to replace Barea or Miami to replace Dragic if he leaves would make more sense
