My finishing on the close to the basket end will be better, more effective. I’m trying to improve this a lot and sometimes my decision making.
Two seasons ago, you played in Türkiye for Merkezefendi. What are your thoughts on Turkey and those days?
I mean, they gave me everything there. I really appreciate coach Zafer Aktaş and he’s an amazing person. We have great relationship with also everyone there from my teammates to to the presidents.
