Nebo will have toà stay in the pits for at least another month

After investing so much in Mannion, Olimpia è is ready to close with a new player. The arrival of the former Varese point guard has revitalized the team (the blue è was decisive against Partizan Belgrade), now it is hoped that the American can also give Coach Messina's EA7 a further jolt.

Currently on the strength of the New Zealand Breakers (but with a past in the NBA with the jerseys of Toronto and Orlando), the 1997-class long has similar characteristics to Mc Cormack but with much more experience. Reason why, he seems well suited for Olimpia, desperate for players ready immediately.

Barring surprises, he should take the place of Mc Cormack himself, who, so far, has not convinced. There'è also to be evaluated is the Nebo situation. The former Maccabi, as explained by the red and white club, will be forced to stay in the pits for about another month, at the end of which he will be reevaluated.

In short, Gillespie is needed like bread for Messina, which, given the many games on the schedule, needs moreù resources in the long department, also in order not to over-squeeze people like Mirotic or LeDay (often used as a long). Gillespie is expected to be made official by Olimpia Milano soon. The deal already seems to have been found. Milan è ready to welcome a new reinforcement.
