Delfino's little brother also plays basketball
7Not that I'm trying to associate him to the Bucks: one Delfino should bhe enough for Milwaukee. But here is Lucio Delfino, Carlos' little brother. He's 13 and he's playing for the state team of Santa Fe in the U13 Argentinean National Championship. According to the article, he played two games (12 and 18 min): he had 6 pts y 6 rb in the first one and 7 pts and 2 rb in the second one. The Milwaukee Delfino is quoted saying he told his brother "to have fun and make friends".

Delfino's Bucks season preview
5In Spanish. It has some interesting parts here and there, like for example when he describes his new teammates. I don't have time to translate it now. If nobody in his website does (it has a version in English that takes time in updating), I'll try to do it soon enough. Here's an advance. "We kept the core and we know how to do things. Now we must find the better team chemistry in and out of the court, something that takes time but is important to make things happen as we want them to. Sharing the ball, making an extra pass, winning a game with defense and celebrate our teammates’ good plays are, in my opinion, details that make good teams become great teams. This is now the challenge for us because of the new faces and changes of personnel, although we keep a same concept and structure. "
