![]() ![]() Yes definitely! Considering my first season got cut short after just 3 games due to COVID. Is it fair to say that this was your true professional break through season? Last season you played with 22: TuS ADEMAX Red Devils Bramsche (Germany-Regionalliga) averaging 14.9ppg, 4.6rpg, FGP: 47.6%, 3PT: 28.3%, FT: 80.4%. I have a good understanding defensively but there is still room to improve. The area of my game that lacks the most is probably defense. On what area’s of your game are you still working on so you can continue to get better as a player? But this is something that I’m always working on and will continue to work on during the season. However, it is sometimes a mental challenge, especially during games, to stay focused and not let missed or bad shots affect that confidence. I’ve always been someone who shoots three’s and I know that I am a good shooter. Is it fair to say that your three pointer is a work in progress? How confident are you that you can become a better shooter over time? I am also a coachable player, I always try to take any feedback in consideration and improve my game. I strive to make smart decisions on the court. I would say that I have a good understanding of basketball in general. You’re a player that knows how to score and rebound the ball, but what other strong points does your game have on the court? Someone who isn’t specified in one aspect, but rather does a little bit of everything. But I consider myself an ‘all-around’ type of player (at least offensively) so it would have to be someone like that. That’s a tricky one, I haven’t really thought about it before. If you had to compare your game to an NBA player who would best fit the description? His smile is definitely a big part of that positive energy. He has a positive energy on and off the court, but can also hold people accountable whenever needed. It’s been really fun, Justin is really motivated and always want to win. How much fun has it been playing with captain Justin Stallbohm? How infectious is his smile? What I appreciate the most about his game is probably that he has a good basketball IQ and makes smart decisions. It’s been great! He is a great teammate and a great basketball player. What do you appreciate most about his game? How much fun has it been having KJ Sherril as a teammate. I am confident that I can be the same threat I was playing in Bramsche and help out the team. It is always a little nerve racking whenever I sign with a new team in terms of how I will fit in and how well I can perform. How confident are you that you will fulfill this? You had a very solid Regionalliga season in Bramsche and now have come to replace the talented German Noah Westerhaus. He talked a lot about my playing style and how I would fit in the team. It definitely felt like he knew a lot about basketball and that he would be very involved as coach. He is a guy that eats, drinks and sleeps Limburg basketball. How did the talks go with head coach Danny Stallbohm. There is actually people that come and watch the game which makes it so much better. In terms of basketball, I like that the sport itself is much bigger here than at home. ![]() I really like the old towns, it is always excited to see different old towns and different cities. What do you appreciate most about the country Germany and it’s basketball? Yeah kind of, I really enjoy living here because it is very similar to Sweden, at least compared to the US, and it feels more at home. This will be your third season in Germany after coming from Temple College (JUCO) in the States. We talked a lot and he explained what my role would be and I just felt that it would be a good fit here, knowing I would play a lot minutes and get a chance to develop as a player. I was looking for other teams in 1.Regionalliga to sign with and Coach Danny contacted me. What were the main reasons for you coming to Limburg? You have signed with German Regionalliga team Bona Baskets Limburg after playing last season with the Red Devils Bramsche. I have been here a month so far and have been practicing, getting to know my teammates and I am very excited for the season to start. Playing for Bona Baskets Limburg in 1.Regionalliga. I am currently in my apartment in Limburg, Germany. Thanks Hugo for talking to Where are you at the moment and how is basketball life treating you?
