Forgot to post this last week:

Southern California’s Daniel Hackett moved to the United States
a few years ago to gain more exposure with the American style of
basketball, but he’ll return to Italy this summer to play for
the national team.

On Tuesday, Italy coach Carlo Recalcati named Hackett to his
squad for a series of friendlies against Croatia, the Czech
Republic and Slovakia next month.

Should be a valuable experience for Daniel…
