How good does it feel being named to the 2014 Beko BBL allstar squad for the first time?
It feels great and I think that it doesn´t reflect my individual work, but from the work of the team that we are consistent.
What is your take on the play of the Artland Dragons in the first half of the season?
There were many doubters who didn´t think that coach Mccoy could do job as a rookie coach and playing in Eurocup, but coach and we have done a great job at being successful. A big strength is that we are mentally tough. We won almost every close game in the first half.
