Thanks Malcolm for talking to eurobasket.com. Where are you at the moment and how are you enjoying your summer?

Currently, I am up at my parents house in New York. Summer is going well so far. I have a vacation lined up next week but I’m continuing to play the game I love, stay in shape, and getting the opportunity to see my family. This was the longest I had ever been away from them.

You played as a rookie in Germany for TG Wuerzburg Blue Baskets (Germany-Regionalliga) Did the transition to Germany make it easier since your brother Jason was also in Wurzburg playing for the Beko BBL team s.Oliver Baskets Wurzburg?

Absolutely. Having family around in a situation where you are far from home makes everything a little bit more comfortable and easy going.
