INTERVIEW
How and when did you start playing basketball?
My parents introduced me to basketball at the age of 6, even though they didn’t play basketball themselves.
You had a great performance VTB United Youth League last season. What are your thoughts about the last season?
I really liked the last season in the youth team, there were a lot of interesting games, I often had to play 4 games a week in different cities, but that was the point of going through these difficulties, because this is how character is developed.
You made your debut with Lokomotiv Kuban senior team in Gloria Cup and played with 11 points and 8 rebounds. What are your thoughts on your first game?
As for the first game, I guess I was nervous at the beginning, then I tried to relax and the game went better.
You played well in the preparation games. What do you think about the Gloria Cup and VTB Super Cup?
About all our pre-season games I will say that it is an interesting experience playing with foreign teams, everyone has one goal – to win, but everyone achieves them in different ways.
What are your goals for next season?
The goals for the upcoming season are simple, the first is to win the VTB championship with Loko, and the second is to make the maximum contribution to this victory, be useful on the court and improve your game.
What are your long-term goals?
Goals for the future are to play in the NBA and enjoy not only basketball, but life in general.
What are the skills that you think make a difference in your game?
I think it’s just the feeling of the moment and understanding of the game.
Which skills do you want to improve in your game?
I wouldn’t single out just one or more skills, I would like to improve the other, I believe that everything can always be improved, because there is no limit to progress, the main thing is to work on yourself.
Do you have a pre-game ritual?
My ritual before a game is to put on socks and sneakers on the right foot, and lace them up, starting with the right one. Well, the last throw in the warm-up must be scored.
Who is your favorite basketball player?
There are several of my favorite players: Luka Doncic , Nikola Jokic, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Anthony Edwards.
Which basketball player would you like to play with in the future?
There are no such players.
