NBA Draft 2025: tutte le scelte di primo e secondo giro, dalla #1 alla #59. C’è anche l’azzurro Saliou Niang, ma nel 25/26 giocherà in Virtus

E’ ancora tempo di Draft NBA, con nuove e sorprendenti scelte nella scorsa notte. Da Flagg ad Harper, da Edgecombe a Knueppel, fino all’azzurro Saliou Niang, grande protagonista con Trento nella scorsa stagione e chiamato con la #59 dai Cavs. L’ipotesi che l’ex Fortitudo potesse essere selezionato si era fatta più concreta nelle ultime ore, quando i vari Mock Draft lo avevano inserito alla fine del round. Cleveland ha così deciso di puntare su di lui, ma il futuro, almeno per la prossima stagione, è già delineato: Niang infatti giocherà comunque per la Virtus Bologna, come confermato il GM dei Cavs: “Sarà una grande opportunità per lui di giocare ai massimi livelli lì, e lo seguiremo e lo terremo d’occhio”.
