Treviso Basket Goes NBA
Treviso Basket Goes NBA
(That's Italian for Basketball)
reported by Toronto Star:
"GM Bryan Colangelo continues to put his stamp on the Toronto Raptors — and it has a distinctly international flavour.
Colangelo hired Maurizio Gherardini as the club's vice-president and assistant GM Thursday, making the former Benetton Treviso GM the first European to hold a senior management position with an NBA franchise.
Andrea Bargnani led Gherardini's former team Benetton Treviso to the Italian Lega A championship earlier this week. The six-foot-11 star forward is expected to be among the first few names picked in next Wednesday's NBA draft, and was rumoured to be among the Raptors' favourites for their No. 1 pick.
"We have enjoyed an unbelievable season, we just won the championship two nights ago and Andrea Bargnani of course was a key element for such a success," said Gherardini. "I know pretty much the kind of player and the kind of person he is."
