The aim here is always to win, so I'm very happy to be back here to try to win as many titles as possible."
New teammates

It's great to be able to share the court with them every day because they're the best players in the world, and it will help me to improve and compete every day."
Scariolo

Contribution
"I'm a versatile player who can do a bit of everything. I'm trying to improve my shooting and physically get stronger. I want to try to get into the team as much as possible and contribute and do what the coach asks me to do."
