What Campazzo will find in the Denver Nuggets

• Campazzo. "He's going to the NBA"

Facundo Campazzo will meet in the Denver Nuggets with the highest point guard in the NBA,

.

The Serbian is one of the best passing pivots the league has seen and from his 2.13 meters he commands the team's attack.

Between him and Jamal Murray, second sword and fledgling star, they direct the operations.

The Argentine will have to fight for the minutes of substitute base with the reliable Monte Morris.

said well

when he announced that Campazzo was not going "to one of the humble teams."

The Nuggets were one of the great stories of the past playoffs, where they reached the Conference Finals after becoming the first team to come back from 3-1 against in two best-of-seven ties: first against the Utah Jazz and then against the Los Angeles Clippers, one of the favorite theorists to the title.

The Lakers, eventual champions, were too much for a team still

, but that is the path they hope to follow.

That future will be built on the shoulders of Jokic and Murray, so the road to the starting five seems closed for Campazzo.

Between the Canadian, point guard and scorer, and the Serbian, point guard for all intents and purposes, they monopolize all the ball that the Argentine could need.

His role will be in charge of the second unit.

Jokic and Campazzo, in the past World Cup.

Campazzo's main rival for the minutes will be

, an extremely reliable point guard (9 points, 3.5 assists).

He came to the NBA through the back door (number 51 in the 2017 draft), but has settled in with a very confident style: last season he was the player with the best ratio of assists per loss (4.81) and the previous year the data was even higher (5.71).

In that sense Morris, who

, is the opposite of the Argentine: he has made virtue of his lack of courage.

When the coach, Mike Malone, wants to give a spark to the second unit, the chosen one will be from Cordoba.

In command of the second unit

Like Campazzo, Morris is a good defender, although for the Argentine, with his 1.80, physical adaptation will be a challenge.

Due to their height, it is difficult for them to share minutes, but Facu could do it with

, a defensive guard who needs less ball, or even Will Barton, a forward with good manners to direct the game.

Of the rest of the foreign rotation, none poses a 'threat' to the minutes of the already ex-Madridista.

The continuity of

, the third baseman from last season, is unclear and RJ Hampton, a 19-year-old first-round draft pick with only one year of professional experience in New Zealand, will need a lot of filming before getting a hole.

Campazzo recovers the Argentine accent for the NBA, which

had no Albiceleste representation.

Just this week in the draft, Leandro Bolmaro was chosen.

The pearl of Barça was selected at number 23 by the New York Knicks and transferred to Minnesota, but his landing will take a while longer.

The Nuggets have won the bid for

.

During the last weeks there was talk of the interest of Minnesota, Dallas or San Antonio.

The Timberwolves, who had the backing of Pablo Prigioni in their coaching staff, seemed the favorites, but the unexpected return of Ricky Rubio took them out of the race;

the Mavs, where he would have reunited with Luka Doncic, will renew JJ Barea;

and the Spurs, where Ginobili, Oberto, Garino or the Real Madrid player Laprovittola passed, did not convince the next Argentine.
