Italian-born sharpshooting forward Nicolo Melli has reportedly received interest from the Brooklyn Nets and the Atlanta Hawks. After taking home All Euroleague 2nd Team honors in 2017, there were reportedly several teams interested in signing the 6-foot-8 forward. He declined an offer from the Hawks last season. Atlanta was also interested back in 2013.

Melli averaged 12.0 points and 6.9 rebounds per 36 minutes last season for Fenerbahce, shooting 44.1 percent from three-point range. This was the third year in a row he has shot at least forty percent from long range. Perhaps one reason he caught the attention of the Nets is that their Director of Global Scouting is the Italian-bornGianluca Pascucci.
