Interesting interview with Eurospects here. Little comes off well. Here are the Baylor parts.
You chose Baylor over schools such as Villanova and Indiana. How is your relationship with coach Scott Drew since he is known for developing guards? How are you preparing for your first season in the NCAA?
That's the big reason why I picked Baylor, I know that they are really good at developing guards. My relationship with the whole coaching staff was also important, I really like them. There is a winning culture over there in Baylor and that's crucial to me, knowing that every time we step into the court, we are there for a reason.
Your friend Jeremy Sochan also played for Baylor before he was selected by the San Antonio Spurs in the 2022 NBA Draft. What do you want to say about your friendship with him?
He's cool man! He is very funny. He had a great season and watching him succeed is really cool. Biggest thing I learned from J is, nobody's path is the same. He probably had one of the wildest paths, going from the UK, US, Germany, back to the US and to the NBA is wild. That is something people do not appreciate enough. We all have different stories. Don't try to be like someone else, be yourself. Everybody see him out there with different hair colors and shooting the free throws with one hand. If it works for you and that reflects who you truly are, embrace yourself. There is nothing wrong with having role models and stuff but always be yourself, that is probably the best thing I've learned from him as a friend over the years. Jeremy also had an influence over my decision to choose Baylor. I already knew all about the school and daily life from his experiences.
What are your goals for next season?
We are going to win it all with Baylor. With Yves Missi and Ja'Kobe Walter, we are going to be good. We have a lot of good players on the team. We know that if we work hard and be on the same page in terms of our goals, it is going to be a great season. Living and experiencing the college basketball atmosphere is going to be exciting.
