Facundo Campazzo used to demolish prejudices and overcome adversity.

It was always like this in his career.

"Being under suspicion makes me not relax," he

confessed a few months ago in this newspaper.

His expected dawn in the NBA is not being a red carpet, despite the welcome accolades and the 'highlights' of the compressed pre-kick.

While social media rages in Argentina, the point guard waits too long at the back of the Nuggets bench, not half an hour in total in his first four games.

Early to draw conclusions.

Also in Real Madrid it cost him.

First a nearly blank season after arriving from Peñarol, then a two-year loan in Murcia.

Until he returned, physically and mentally transformed, to take over the reins.

Each jump is a challenge for the Facu, a mouse that always pretends to be a lion.

But when the necessary "adaptation" to the NBA passes, the real enigma is presented by the proven

list of figures that Mike Malone manages

.

As in a motorcycle race, the little Campazzo will have to sneak between colleagues to find his place.

For now, the reality is that Campazzo went from almighty at Real Madrid, from total leader of Argentina runner-up in the world, to

one of the last in the Nuggets' rotation

.

Despite the bet of those from Colorado and the complexity of his exit by clause, he lost his essential condition and found two pure bases like Jamal Murray and Monte Morris, just renewed the second.

Even the PJ Dozier combo is ahead of him in importance.

Without Murray, in the loss to the Kings, Facu spent almost 13 minutes on the court, his top.

For the first time something that were not garbage moments.

He dropped some of the passes that dazzled his coaching staff in the videos they gobbled down as they weighed his incorporation - his first five assists - but failed to score more than one free throw.

Campazzo, who

was announced as Francisco

, has to again arm himself with patience, but there are some reasons for hope, even if he has to improve his accuracy from the perimeter.

The frenetic game of the NBA seems perfect for its electricity.

"The main difference is that it is a faster game. Here they play really fast. I'm not used to that.

In Madrid I played a slow attack

and here you have to run and be in the correct position, in addition to playing hard defense. The adaptation does not It's going to be easy, but I'll try to keep it short. But that fast game will be the most difficult thing to adapt to, "he confessed the days before his debut, when his coach and his teammates were hallucinating with his mischief in training.

"He must be one of the five best pick and roll players in the world. He is not a good passer ... he is a great passer. He makes all his teammates better, he is extremely selfless and that is why he fits seamlessly into our culture. "Malone praised him, with a warning for the rest:" If you don't have your eyes on the ball, it's going to break your nose. "

Nor is the Nuggets' departure without his participation meeting expectations.

The Western Conference finalist continues to maintain his favorite poster, but

has lost three of the four games played

.

"If you look at the history of the Argentines in the NBA, not everyone had large amounts of minutes on the court. It was my turn because I arrived in Chicago, which was unarmed, and Manu (Ginobili). But the NBA is a show, more individual. Facundo will have to endure the transition. Obviously it shocks you to see him little. There are very few players like Luka Doncic, who stepped foot and was directly a figure ", reflected a few days ago his compatriot Nocioni about the escalation that awaits him. Cordoba in the Rocky Mountains.
