Olympia, with Shabazz Napier everything changes

Last year, he was traveling at an average of 13.8 points in the league

.

As soon as he è materialized at the Forum to attend the game, then lost, against Panathinaikos, the Olimpia crowd gave him a wonderful welcome. Napier's return to the red and white jersey è a blessing for coach Messina who, for too long, had been desperately searching for a playmaker who could take over the reins of AX's game.

Napier, closed the rather negative adventure at Red Star, returns to Milan knowing what the team needs. He already did it during last season when, arrived on the run, he dragged Olimpia to the Scudetto victory. Well, Coach Messina asked him the same, exact things, namely to turn the ball over well (excellent in the pick and roll) and put points on the board.

Two qualities that the 31-year-old U.S. point guard has. Last year in the league, he played 27 games, averaging 13.8 points to which he also added 4.1 assists per shoelace. With Napier on the roster, Olimpia changes dramatically. It now has a real point guard, one who knows the dictates of Coach Messina. Everyone is happy, especially Napier, who is at home in Milan è.
