INTERVIEW
You’ve been getting solid role this season. What do you think about season so far?
We had many injuries, a lot of problems there, and then I got my chance, my opportunity to play more. Of course, we struggled this season, it was tough for us, EuroLeague and also BBL. But, I try to help the team and do my best.
What are your goals for your career?
I’m dreaming about the NBA, of course, you know, I want to reach the highest level. And, yeah, just keep working.
What are the skills that you think make a difference in your game?
Despite I’m young, I got a pretty good basketball IQ, and I understand the game pretty good. I can do a little bit of everything. My shot inconsistent from the outside, but I think I can attack, I can pass the ball, I can dribble the ball.
Which skills do you want to improve in your game?
My three-point shot a lot. I want to be consistent, I can make the open threes, and I think when this comes, then I’m a pretty solid player.
How is your relationship with coach Israel Gonzalez?
Pretty good. The coach is trusting me more and more, and he’s talking to me also. And he wants me to be aggressive and not thinking about anything.
