“He has helped Hapoel Holon achieve two great successes. The qualification for the Final Four of the Champions League and, above all, the achievement of the league title in Israel. That speaks very well of his mentality and his ambition,” he said. the sports director of Surne Bilbao Basket, Rafa Pueyo.
“As a player I would highlight his mobility, his speed, his great jumping ability, which helps him in attack to play over the rim, to be dangerous in pick and roll situations and to intimidate defensively. With him and Jeff Withey we do a good interior partner. They are different players who complement each other well,” he added.
