"I want to play with A-Game in the men’s league because I want to learn from the best in basketball. I see it as an opportunity for me to develop more as a player and to gain valuable experiences playing with older and stronger guys. It will get me prepared for the physicality of the game with older guys at an elite level. More specifically it will help me to improve my ball handling and shooting skills, and make me a better all-round basketball player. This experience will also enable me to compete at an elite level and I am looking forward to the challenge."
