I want to be focused in the national team and then I will think about the upcoming season. Being in the NBA it’s a great experience. I wanted to live it. I am very happy and I am optimistic about my future in the NBA, even if my first season didn’t end the best way possible. I don’t feel that I have to prove something to anyone else than myself. I will fight to stay in the NBA”.
