Facundo Campazzo is living its most difficult moment in the NBA. The few minutes that you give Michael Malone -the coach of the Denver Nuggets-, added to the poor performance he maintained in his last games, made the Cordovan receive criticism from the fans. Even from American and Spanish journalists. However, They went out to bank the Mago with everything from Argentina.
The first to do so was the historic captain of the Argentine team, louis scola. Luifa traveled to Madrid to receive a prize awarded by the magazine “Basketball Giants” which categorizes it as “international legend player“. There, he gave an interview with Radius Brandin which he was asked about the performance of the Nuggets’ 7th. “Facu still hasn’t run out of opportunities to play in the NBA and as long as he can, he has to try,” express.

Later, the former coach of the Argentine national team, Sergio (the Sheep) Hernandezgave an interview for the portal only basketball and he was blunt with his sayings: “Campazzo’s situation is not that serious: there is too much expectation that he will have an impact in the NBA. I already talked about it with him, he can play in that League and anywhere.”

Nothing out of place: the Cordovan has had brilliant performances in the American league that earned him the recognition of his teammates and rivals. Without going further, On January 2 of this year, he broke his record for points converted after nailing 22 points and dishing out 12 assists against the Houston Rockets. A double-double of high numbers.
It is strange to think that, barely two months after such a performance, Campazzo play just seconds with your team or spend the 48 minutes of the game sitting on the bench. Some irregular encounters that he had from there, and the good performance of the other point guards like Monte Morris, Bones Hyland or Bryn Forbes, made Malone put less time on the court. And it could be worse if you take into account that the return of the star point guard is still missing, jamal murray.
The last one who came out to bank it was the Egg Sánchez. Through a publication on his Instagram account, he made an extensive analysis of the Cordovan’s situation in the NBA. “It is up to you to wait for your moment and in the meantime, insist with speed on shooting from almost 8 meters, proving once again that you have blood in your veins; or return to Europe and continue to be decisive as you did just three years ago”, were some of his words.
