Mike Miller, agent for Paolo Banchero, said that the Rookie of the Year has
not decided yet on whether to play for Italbasket or Team USA in the upcoming
FIBA Basketball World Cup.
Paolo Banchero 的經紀人 Mike Miller 表示，他尚未決定在即將到來的籃球世界盃賽會
上，要為義大利隊或為美國隊出賽。
“For a youngster like Paolo it is always good to have different options. He
would like to play for both national teams, but he knows very well he can’t
do it. So, he will have to make a decision, but we don’t know when it will
be. It could take two days or three months. At the moment we are not saying
yes or no to the possibility of playing in the World Cup, it will never be a
choice against one NT or the other. We will get in touch with Italy, we owe
it to them. Paolo has had two meeting with Grant Hill for Team USA. He must
ponder well the decision that will have an impact on the player’s next 15 to
20 years” Miller said to Sky Sport, as reported by Tuttosport.
Miller 向天空體育台表示：
「對於像Paolo 這樣的年輕人，能有多樣化的選擇通常會是好事。他希望能同時代表兩個
國家隊出賽，但他深知道他不可能做到一點。因此，他將不得不作出一個決定，但我們
不知道何時會有定案，可能需要兩天或三個月的時間。對於出戰世界盃的可能性，這時
候我們沒辦法說什麼話，這永遠不會是在兩者之間的抉擇。我們將嘗試接觸義大利隊，
這是我們虧欠他們的。Paolo 也曾為了美國隊，而與 Grant Hill 會面了兩次。他將必
須好好考慮即將影響自己未來十五至二十年（職業生涯）的決定。」
短評：
甫獲得本季例行賽最佳新秀的 Paolo Banchero ，目前擁有美國、義大利雙重國籍；不論
是要為哪一方出戰，以其表現（場均二十分、六點九個籃板、三點七次助攻）來看，相信
都會是好的助力。
