I think it's important to keep him in mind as we're thinking about how the back half of the roster will look next year. I wouldn't be surprised to see him over here with the club.

His recent highlights give me Austin Reaves vibes

Matteo should study every Austin Reaves move if he wants to be succ in NBA

Keep in mind the importance of young, cheap talent on the back-end of an expensive roster.

Found a recent interview (via Google Translate): https://news.italy24.press/local/516361.html

Do you have any contact with Timberwolves this season?
Yes, they follow me, I have quite frequent contacts with the representatives of Minnesota, we talk about everything, then they tell me the aspects to work on, what there is to improve in my game, there is attention from them. I try to follow their matches, maybe not during the night, but I try to recover them during the following day. The season hasn’t gone badly, there are players who have stood out like Anthony Edwards who has put in phenomenal performances, it’s a team that can aim even higher given the talent on the roster.

Is the NBA a short-term program or do you think you need one or more seasons in Europe?
I’m always willing to play my cards at any time. Maybe after last year I thought it was too soon and I didn’t feel ready, after this season where I worked so hard so I sincerely believe that if there was any chance of going there, I would give it a try. There are many aspects to evaluate and consider, whether there is a real space to play for example, but it is a door that I keep open, it being understood that I am contractually bound to Real Madrid.

I like a lot about his game but it’s tough to function as a guard in the current NBA that can’t shoot. He’s around if not below 30% from 3 on really low volume.

Austin Reeves material

[Neeva]

I hope he blows up for us. He showed nothing last summer league hope that is entirely different this summer.

[shangrila]

I wouldn't get your hopes up. He was, what, the 50th pick? Guys like that rarely amount to anything in the NBA.

Doesn't mean he can't be good I just wouldn't bet on it.

I know it was a highlight reel, but he looked pretty good. I would like to bring him over and let him play G-league and see if the better competition changes my view.

So what's his nickname going to be, Spagyolo?

[Battletrigger]

So what's his nickname going to be, Spagyolo?

Spagigolo better

[Klomp]

He will likely just be Spags to me

[theGreatRC]

His nickname is "Overseas draft pick that'll likely never come over"

[urinesane]

Well that's just rude, had a good streak going there...

That's just too close to "Spaz" for my liking.
