Find a pivot that can take advantage of caviar from Luka Doncic has been a priority for several years Slovenia. Anthony Randolph, Mike Tobey and Josh Nebo took turns getting passports to help the national team during major competitions, etc Daniel Gafford he hoped in the future…
But the song may no longer be relevant, Jackson Hayes giving in to negotiations with Slovenia.
“He’s my boyfriend.” he said about Luka Doncic, his teammate in the Lakers. “We are in the process of taking steps to get a Slovenian passport so I can play with him next summer.”
Next summer, however, there is no FIBA competition as the next events will be the 2027 World Cup and then the 2028 Olympics. However, Slovenia will be playing qualifiers for the 2027 World Cup next July and August, so Jackson Hayes could participate.
A long-term commitment?
This therefore means that we should not reconsider Josh Nebo with Slovenia, even if it is not surprising after the declarations Luka Dončić’s father about him during the summer.
“As mentioned earlier, we are studying the possibility of integrating a new naturalized staff. We want to secure the services of this player for a long period, in order to guarantee the stability of the team in the years to come. At this moment, we cannot publish his name. Once everything is finalized and the procedures are carried out, we will inform the public” replied the Slovenian federation.
Slightly younger than Daniel Gafford (age 27), is Jackson Hayes (age 25) more willing to make a long-term investment, especially with the 2028 Olympics in mind, with Slovenia?
