Your playing your first season with Onsala Pirates BBK Kungsbacka (Basketettan) and your playing your third season in the Basketettan league and have developed further each season. What exactly was your role with the team this season?

I don’t feel like I have any specific role, I´m just trying to fill into all the gaps that we have.

Do you have the keys to the team? Are you the main leader?

I probably do have the key to the team but not only me, there are couple of other guys which we share the role.

Let´s talk about your game. You’re a 180cm point guard. If you had to compare your game to a NBA or Euroleague player who would you choose?

Dimitris Diamantidis, I feel like I have tried to form my game after him.

You fill the stat sheet well. You had a triple double 2 seasons ago. What are your biggest strengths on the court?

Most definitely my shooting but my play making abilities are also on the same level.

You continue to make big strides in your three point shooting having improved the percentages each season in the last 3. How would you describe the development of your shooting? How far are you from being a 40% shooter?

At this point I am well above 40%

Talk a little about your defensive game. What kind of a defender are you now and what kind of a defender do you still want to become?

I am not the biggest but my strength is probably my intelligence.

On what areas of your game are you working on most now so you can continue to improve your game?

Just sharpening pretty much everything

You began your basketball career with Hogsbo Basket Goteborg (Superettan). How do you remember those years? Did you have a special sort of mentor then?

As I said earlier being in Onsala is just a place where I feel comfortable

Yes, a tripple double is something that I value a lot

Your 23 years old. What goals do you have? Is reaching the top league in Sweden the main goal or do you have bigger goals?
