Paolo Banchero Undecided On Playing For USA Or Italy

Jun 10, 2023 1:08 PM

Paolo Banchero wants to play on the National Team level at some point. As of now, Banchero remains undecided if he'll play for the United States or for Italy.

Banchero's agent Mike Miller said Banchero wishes he could represent both countries, but that the young forward knows that isn't possible.

“For a youngster like Paolo it is always good to have different options. He would like to play for both national teams, but he knows very well he can’t do it. So, he will have to make a decision, but we don’t know when it will be. It could take two days or three months. At the moment we are not saying yes or no to the possibility of playing in the World Cup, it will never be a choice against one NT or the other. We will get in touch with Italy, we owe it to them. Paolo has had two meeting with Grant Hill for Team USA. He must ponder well the decision that will have an impact on the player’s next 15 to 20 years” Miller said to Sky Sport.
