John Gonzalez and Dei Lynam weigh in on whether they think Ryan Arcidiacono will make the NBA.
The modern-day Italian Stallion is headed to his homeland.
After playing last season with the Austin Spurs, San Antonio's G League affiliate, former Villanova star Ryan Arcidiacono is headed overseas to play for Juve Caserta in Italy's Lega Basket Serie A. The Neshaminy High School alum is currently playing for the Chicago Bulls' summer league team and will have an "NBA out" clause in his contract in the case that one of the 30 teams offers him a chance to return to the US.
In a statement, Juve Caserta president Raffaele Iavazzi said that it was his personal dream to bring Arcidiacono to Juventus and expects the 2015 national champ's court vision, leadership and determination to be key factors that will be building blocks for their organization. Juve Caserta won just 12 of its 30 games last season, finishing in 13th place among 16 teams, but was able to avoid relegation to Serie B.
With Villanova, Arcidiacono averaged 12.5 points, 4.2 assists and 39.4 percent from three-point range as a senior before becoming a pro. Last season, he played in 47 D-League games and averaged 6.5 points per game.
