One thing that Casali doesn’t expect to see: call it the “Bo Cruz effect,” finding an unknown in a playground setting, like the fictional “Bo Cruz” in Adam Sandler’s movie, “Hustle.” That doesn’t happen anymore, he said. The world has gotten a lot smaller with social media. “Great movie, Adam Sandler is one of my favorite actors but that story is not real: today it is essentially impossible to find a player who is not already in someone’s notebook,” said Casali. “The last case vaguely associable is that of Giannis Antetokounmpo, who came out of nowhere; but as soon as word spread that there was an enormous talent in Athens in a very short time all 30 franchises went to see him live,” he recalled.
