CIA welcome to char s.com do you go by Vasa Vil Vasa Vasa is fine Vasa um I guess overall it’s been kind of a I’m sure great a couple days what are your reactions to the trade and first impressions of of being with a new organization yeah I mean in my case it

Was a little bit unexpected but uh I’m honestly happy because as far as As I understood the team wanted me to come so that’s what is the most important for me always and uh I don’t see any big challenge except just trying to feed the team and uh with my experience

Or quality I hope I can I can help them that’s the best Sports Illustrated obviously you come from a team on Contender go to a 10- win team that’s full a bunch of young guys how do you plan to kind of be the lead you’re one guys I don’t think they are missing

Leaders they have a lot of talented players and uh they are getting matured more and more and uh that’s probably the process that this team needs but uh my position as a point guard it’s something that maybe can help them to to get along each other faster or to

To contribute uh as as a point guard and share the ball with others so maybe that can help help the others to get better but I don’t think I can uh bring something that they don’t have already but uh we’ll see I think we as a group have a still great potential

To end the season well and I hope we can make it 100 B with the Charlotte Post um coming to A Team like Charlotte two days ago you Oklahoma City now you’re right here what is what is the adjustment what is the turnaround like just to mentally

Lock in and be able play basketball game tonight yeah I mean it’s the biggest transition that I experienced so I had similar in Europe one time in the middle of the Season uh it’s not a trait it’s just exchange of the players but uh I think the experience that I have so

Far helped me to understand that this is always possible uh especially in the NBA everyone wants to come to be part of the league and then you got to accept the good and bad things so I believe this is something that is for young players very

Tough to accept but for me as I said like I just want to be in the place that that team wants me and from that point I will handle it on my own s haror from the Hornets welcome to Charlotte as a point guard getting to know new teammates new coaches new

Terminology how long does it typically take or how long do you think it will take to fully grasp and be under control of the offense I don’t know that’s I think good part of let’s say my game understanding of basketball and learning fast I would say I uh I

Already uh went through some details with the rest of the guys who just came and we I believe we kind of have a lot of similar similarities between the teams just different calls uh but there are some adjustments that we have to find a way to to learn it fast and

And just not be bad part of the team so I think we me personally I’ll do everything to to learn as fast as possible Michael Char how do you think your game help this team what do you think that you can do to kind of bring something that they don’t have at the

Moment I mean so far what I have done in in OKC was something that was also new for me because that team is uh I would say a little bit like already shaped in terms of like they need some pieces but no matter how young they are they they

They kind of have a look and for me it was not easy to adjust my game after playing particularly different a lot in Europe so I I can say that I can adjust on necessary situation uh my passing abilities I would say something that I can always give to the team but also

Capability of creating for myself is something that I prove already so we’ll see I just like to play in the moment that and read the game I think I’m the most productive with the ball because that’s how I reach this level so far so but everything necessary from for the

Team I will I would be able to wrap up with Ashley try I’m Ashley I’m the sideline reporter for the Hornet so I’ll be seeing what did you say you you don’t want to be callil I think it’s just hard to pronounce okay Vasa is easier okay um

Just the biggest difference maybe from the European league in playing overseas versus in the NBA your first season and I follow I can’t ask that but what would you say maybe are some of the biggest differences I think the the individual Talent uh from the players especially on the top level is

Something that is the main difference uh defensive 3 seconds which creates a lot of room in the pain and you kind of have to rely on your one-on-one defense or some some team defense that uh can cover uh weak weak players uh and then I would say physicality physicality on one-on-one

Defense like we are not allowed to use that much of body we play definitely physically in Europe but it’s a different a little bit I just talked to the Williams he he played against Real Madrid this summer I think preseason We compare some stuff it’s it’s different basketball but those three things I

Would say are the be correct me if I’m wrong but I’m assuming English is not your first language when did you learn to speak Eng it I mean at school so from let’s say 16 to 20 the most uh I mean this is something that we are doing as well

Thank you thank you so much
