Sasha Djordjevic: 'Brian Scalabrine has a super positive attitude'

Basketball legend Sasha Djordjevic, new head coach of Benetton Treviso, had great words for Brian Scalabrine after just one day of the former NBA player in Italy.

"He is a great guy. And in one day he is already well-adjusted in the group. He asks info on the schemes, on the team and FIBA rules. He brought excitement for our young players and he will be a guide for all of them. I am sure he will teach the younger athletes that we are not here to punch the clock. He is already a leader" said Djordjevic.

Scalabrine arrived in Treviso for a five-weeks tryout and at the end of the trial period the coaching staff will decide whether to sign him for the season or not.
