With their backcourt already dominated by Luca Vildoza and Nemanja Nedovic, some might have raised an eye after hearing that Crvena Zvezda signed another point guard in Facundo Campazzo.

But when the Argentinian steps onto a basketball court, he suddenly makes all that little doubt go away. Watching him, you just feel something magical is about to happen. Something so beautiful it makes the inner child in you cheer for it even if he's on the opponent's team.

Only a few playmakers manage to control and set up their team in such order and style. In Europe? I'd say Tier 1 stops with Campazzo and Calathes in it.

The up-tempo style, the leadership, and the audacity to take calculated yet crazy risks – that's what we witnessed in his time at Madrid and Denver.

Now, he's back in Europe to bring joy to Crvena Zvezda's fans. Even though it might take some games to shake off the rust (and papers for Belgrade's team to fix) before Campazzo shines in the EuroLeague again, we invite you to take a deeper look into Argentinian's best capabilities, most outrageous passes, and how he will elevate Crvena Zvezda to another level.
