Leandro Bolmaro could be very close to returning to Barcelona. This has been confirmed by the journalist Matteo Andreani, from the portal shooting, which communicates an agreement between the Argentine point guard and the Barça club, in which the young player was already before making the leap to the NBA. In this way, Bolmaro (22 years old, 1.98 cm) would end his brief stage in the best League in the world, in which he has barely played a season and a half and from which he leaves to return to European basketball and reunite with Barçaentity to which he belonged from 2018 to 2021.
Bolmaro has hardly had a leading role in the NBA. Picked 23rd overall in the 2020 draft by the Timberwolveshe became the highest selected Argentine player and the second to appear in the first round of the draft along with Carlos Delfino, who did the same in 2003. He waited one season to go to the NBA, something he did in September 2021. He signed for four seasons (the first two guaranteed) at a rate of 11.8 million dollars. On October 20, 2021, he made his NBA debut with a 126-104 win against the Rockets. scoring his first 2 points in the League.
However, his continuity was minimal: he played 35 games last year, but with less than 7 minutes on average. He was traded to the Jazz, where he played another 14. His little prominence could have been the tonic that has caused the decision to return to Europe. An absolute international with Argentina and a participant in the Tokyo Olympics, Bolmaro will now follow his progression in Europe under Sarunas Jasikevicius and will try to contribute to one of the most competitive squads on the Old Continent.
