Toronto Raptors head coach Darko Rajakovic, one of the few European-born coaches in the NBA, expressed optimism about the venture. “I’m sure the NBA did a very good market study in Europe. I’m sure they have a great idea of what they want,” the Serbian tactician told Canyameras. “I don’t have enough information about what their vision is and how they will do it, but I’m sure Adam Silver and his group really know what they want to do, what kind of product they want to put on the market there, and I think it will be successful.”
