Austin thanks for talking to eurobasket.com. How glad are you to be playing professional again after not being able to play last season?
Very excited about being able to play again this season! Worked hard to get myself back to playing!
After spending your first two professional seasons in Germany and Norway, you have split this season in Georgia and Germany. What was the toughest thing about playing for two teams this season?
After adjusting to each team and the style of play it was pretty easy. At the end of the day it’s all basketball and what I love doing!
