NEW ORLEANS – The white smoke has arrived, Nicolò Melli is a new player of the New Orleans Pelicans. The Italian basketball player, back from an excellent experience in Turkey in the ranks of Fenerbahce, has signed with the NBA team adding to the other two Azzurri who already play in the United States: Danilo Gallinari in the Los Angeles Clippers and Marco Belinelli in the San Antonio Spurs.
Nicolò Melli has signed with the team that is considered the possible surprise of the next Regular Season.
