Got to be honest, this thread hurt my Euroleague fan feelings, there are so many worse players than Campazzo its not even funny. He is same as Rubio, where basic statsheat doesnt show his whole value.
He plays a ton of out of fit. He is on ball creator but not a shooter, where in Denver he runs a lot of off ball and just has to take spot up 3s, which is not his game. Make him run NBA second unit on a team that doesnt have all time great playmaker like Jokic, and he would do better, Like, get him on the Warriors.
Unfortunately he went from starter for Nuggets in POs last year, when they beat good Portland team, to unplayable this year. And the reason is this: "Facu takes 63% of his total attempts from 3. According to NBA.com 90% of those are open or wide open. He makes 31% of those shots." He is also afraid of the blocks so he is not even trying to shoot at the rim. So teams are simply ignoring him offensively, going under the screen, giving him space to shoot. Last night against Memphis, they were tripling Jokic on the post and simply ignoring Facu and he couldn't do nothing. He must learn how to shoot open 3s and flouters or he could be out of the league soon.
He never was a scorer in Europe and FIBA, but I am honestly shocked how bad he is at that at NBA level. Very disappointing, cause I was a huge believer, I pushed get this guy in the NBA narrative. Still a huge fan, just show how good NBA really is, this man was superstar in world cup leading his country to the finals in a tournament where USA finished in 7th. place. He is one of the most fun players to watch when things go his way, many great highlights over the years.
Agree 100%. Likable person too. Maybe it is just from too much basketball (nba+fiba) without time to rest his body, similar to Luka IMO. I hope he will bounce back. Last year he was good, this year he fell through the basement.
