Paolo Banchero has officially decided on which national team he will play for, choosing to represent the United States after previously declaring his intentions to play for Italy.
The NBA's Rookie of the Year is coming off the back of an incredible first season with the Orlando Magic, and has been recognised by the US national team, having been picked for the upcoming 2023 FIBA World Cup.
It was unclear whether Banchero would be picked, stating that he could play for Italy due to his father's heritage being from the country and holding Italian citizenship.
