Sasha Vezenkov ready to persevere in the NBA?

SO, Sasha Vezenkov, will leave or will not leave? There have been conflicting rumors regarding the 28-year-old Bulgarian for several days. On the one hand, Eurohoops explained that the player had indicated to the management of the Kings that he wanted to leave Sacramento. In order to return to Europe?

It must be said that he had ambitions when crossing the Atlantic but that Mike Brown generally did without him, in particular because of his limitations in defense. So much so that his first season was summed up in 42 matches and only 5.4 points on average.

“Overall, I can say it’s been a weird season. Highs and lows. New game, new life, some injuries. I tried to adapt as quickly as possible “, he confided in April, without denying his choice to come to the United States. “ I made the right choice, there is no doubt about it. It was a great opportunity, you can't say otherwise, it's the NBA. Like I said, I have doubts about other things, but not this one. »

The other, a colleague from Fox40 indicates that this rumor of leaving the NBA is false and that Sasha Vezenkov would have every intention of completing his contract (of three years) with the Kings, who would also like to keep him.

However, the doors would be open to him and if an interesting offer arrives on the table of the Kings, it will logically be studied. Perhaps the former Olympiakos player already needs a change of scenery to flourish and shine more in the NBA, in a team that will better exploit his qualities.
