Paul Banchero will be at the NBA Finals.
While the Miami Heat and Denver Nuggets will compete for the title on the court, the rookie of the year will be busy as columnist. The “Italian” (quotation marks are a must, after the news of the last few weeks) player will be employed by the NBA itself as a commentator for social channels and the league’s official app. Along with him three other freshmen: Walker Kessler of the Utah Jazz, Bennedict Mathurin of the Indiana Pacers and Jalen Williams of the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Should the series be prolonged, however, Banchero would not have to follow it to the end, as he is scheduled to make his first visit to Italy in mid-June.
