Huertas says this is the right time to take a serious look at joining the NBA
The Brazilian point guard will be free agent and he is unlikely to re-sign with FC Barcelona
Marcelinho Huertas will try to sign in the NBA this summer. The Brazilian point guard will be free agent and he is unlikely to re-sign with FC Barcelona.
One option in Europe is Fenerbahce who is targeting him since times.
But Huertas intends to jump overseas.
The player with also Italian passport spoke with Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo Sports about his future.
Per Yahoo Sports, “This is the right time,” Huertas told Yahoo Sports.
“Prigoni is the guy most likely to get compared to me, because our career trajectory had been similar in Europe,” Huertas said. “And like him, I can run a team without worrying about scoring.”
“There’s so much more space in the NBA,” Huertas told Yahoo Sports. “It’s not like Europe now, where you have one guy full-time in the paint. Space is harder to come by. One of my strengths is playing in the pick-and-roll, finding open guys and making shots in the mid-range game off the dribble.
“If you look at NBA rosters, there are unbelievable starting point guards, but maybe not as many guys who can come off the bench able to run the team, score the ball – as well as being able to be a leader for young players,” Huertas told Yahoo. “Those are things I know I’ll be able to bring with me.”
