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 的经纪人 Mike Miller 表示，他尚未决定在即将到来的篮球世界杯赛会
上，要为意大利队或为美国队出赛。
“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 向天空体育台表示：
“对于像Paolo 这样的年轻人，能有多样化的选择通常会是好事。他希望能同时代表两个
国家队出赛，但他深知道他不可能做到一点。因此，他将不得不作出一个决定，但我们
不知道何时会有定案，可能需要两天或三个月的时间。对于出战世界杯的可能性，这时
候我们没办法说什么话，这永远不会是在两者之间的抉择。我们将尝试接触意大利队，
这是我们亏欠他们的。Paolo 也曾为了美国队，而与 Grant Hill 会面了两次。他将必
须好好考虑即将影响自己未来十五至二十年（职业生涯）的决定。”
短评：
甫获得本季例行赛最佳新秀的 Paolo Banchero ，目前拥有美国、意大利双重国籍；不论
是要为哪一方出战，以其表现（场均二十分、六点九个篮板、三点七次助攻）来看，相信
都会是好的助力。
