A true revelation of the 2023 World Cup, Arturs Zagars will quickly be a man sought after. Free from any contract, the Latvian leader would be in the sights of EuroLeague clubs but also… NBA franchises.
We know that international competitions can sometimes open doors at clubs and Arturs Zagars is giving meaning to this sentence. As part of a Latvian team that won over all observers, Zagars did well, enjoying match after match between great scoring performances and caviars for friends. With 12 points (more than 40% from 3-point range) and more than 7 assists in just 25 minutes per gameArturs Zagars has undoubtedly left his mark.
The native of Riga also allowed himself to write his name in the history books of the Cup by achieving no less than 17 assists against Lithuania. He thus erases Toni Kukoc, the former Croatian star who played for the Chicago Bulls, from the shelves. Obviously, such performances could not go unnoticed, especially since the player is without a contract and therefore free to join the team of his choice!
According to the sources of BasketNewsseveral EuroLeague clubs would have come for information but also NBA teams!
If no names have been put forward, Zagars may receive a call from a GM to potentially land a contract. His teammate Davis Bertans, himself in the NBA for a number of years now, sincerely believes that his young compatriot has everything to succeed in the Big League.
[sur les chances de Zagars de pouvoir jouer en NBA, ndlr] “Honestly, yes”
“I think there’s a good chance. It’s all about timing, luck and opportunity. Anything can happen if you find yourself in the right place at the right time. He has all the weapons to achieve this”
“He is ruthless, as you can see. They put their best defender on him every night, and he continues to carry us”
If Zagars receives an offer from an NBA team, it should not be long since the resumption of training is scheduled for the end of September.
