Paolo Banchero Planned To Compete Internationally For Italy. Now? Maybe Not

As we noted in another Sunday post, Grant Hill is now the head of USA Basketball and that is an interesting development, not least of all to Paolo Banchero.

Previously, Banchero felt let down by USA Basketball and had never survived the final cut to actually make a team. But he was a sensation at Duke, the #1 pick in last year’s draft, and now the presumptive Rookie of the Year. And, as he notes, a fellow Brotherhood member is running the show and now, “[i]n short, there is a decision to make.”

That’d be great news for Team USA.
