NBA Draft: two Italian talents are among the 71 who have already made themselves eligible

The long-awaited NBA Draft will be held next June 23 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. In this edition, there will be room for a lot of blue. In the list of the 71 names that have already made themselves eligible for the NBA Draft (with the possibility of being chosen by an NBA franchise) there are as many as two very talented Italian players.

The first answers to the name of Luigi Suigo. Center, 221 centimeters, the former Olimpia is making his bones with the Mega Belgrade jersey but has decided that the time has come to try to play in the world’s top basketball league. No NCAA but the direct jump to prove all his worth.

The same choice has been made by Francesco Ferrari. The young talent from Virtus Bologna, 20, is having a very good season with the V Nere and has confirmed that he wants to present himself at the next NBA Draft. He has the numbers to be a star in the NBA as well.

Different choice, however, for Sarr. The guard/small forward has made his decision official: he will wear the Blue Devils’ jersey again next season. Overjoyed Duke fans who, at least for another season, will enjoy the magic of the Blue. It should be mentioned that Saliou Niang was selected, by the Cleveland Cavaliers, at the last NBA Draft. Whether or not, at the end of the current season (he plays for Virtus Bologna), he will pack his bags with destination Cleveland remains to be seen. And it should always be noted that there is a Simone Fontecchio who wants to continue his adventure in the NBA.
