Knicks · Possible, realistic FA target, Euro MVP Nando De Colo (Highlights from Euro playoffs) (page 1)

Noticed from these clips he looks to drive first and foremost. Could he be a nice match for JH at SG? Believe he would be cheaper then most FAs SGs as well.

He has some nba suitors.
Raptors and Spurs are considering Nando De Colo. Bucks are apparently the team willing to make the biggest offer. The fourth NBA team in the mix for his services could be Denver. 2 weeks ago – via Encestando

He also was mentioned as a guy the Nuggets are interested in.

Kid can play. You can be sure Phil and Gaines are all over a Euro along these lines.

We would offer the best opportunity for him to start out of the teams mentioned other then Denver. Denver also has Will Barton and a developing Gary Harris.

DJ says Raps have his right. But with Lowry, Joseph, Derozan, Ross they probably don't pursue.

I don't think that is possible. He played a couple of years in the nba so he isn't a pick that hasn't come over.

Tony Wroten's highlight is better.... and he's on the roster for next year.

This article says he is a Raptors RFA.

They could compliment each other pretty well. Would love to see them try to out do each other with the no look passes.

Tony Wroten's highlights are better? It depends what is important to you. This other guy looks like a potentially elite passer. Tony Wroten is not a good passer.

I think Tony can make all the passes. It's gonna help having guys that can make shots and finish. Just remember you're talking about 20 and 21 yr old Wroten on the damn Sixers!!! Who you play with does matter.

I'm curious to see what Hornacek can do with Tony.

It's not just about the sixers its who he has been his entire basketball career. He has been style over substance since high school. He does have the ability to make all the passes but unfortunately a lot of those passes go to the opponents just like most of his shots after they miss.

You talk like he can't make all the passes when in fact he's a gifted passer. Just cuz he pushed the envelope on making tough passes doesn't mean he's not accurate and can't tone it down. I think maturity will settle in for him. This is gonna be a much bigger situation than he was in with Philly. Despite the fancy passes he does have considerable talent that I expect Phil, Hornacek, Melo etc to help him fully realize.

No I sound like a person who acknowledges his skills and also his many flaws.

My point is that he is an accurate passer but has often been overconfident and tried to make some tough passes that he shouldn't. This isn't a case of a guy who can't make excellent passes cuz he can. Rather it's just calming down and making the simple pass which he most certainly can do. The kid can pass at a high level but just has to value the ball a bit more.

One of the Sixers blogs (liberty ballers ?) listed his teammates with the Sixers a year or so ago defending Tony. If I come across it I will pts the link.

Nando has 3 years nba experience. Same as Wroten basically. He has the potential to be an elite passers-based off Euroleague highlights. Wroten averaged 16pts and 5 assists for Philly before he hurt his knee.... but the way you guys talk about him is like Phil found him in the street. That's why we have a 30 plus page thread on Wroten.
