The former Reggio Emilia player’s talks about his arrival in Badalona.

Kwan Cheatham, Joventut Badalona’s new signing, spoke to Laura Cristaldi of L’Angolo dello Sport.

Moving to Badalona after Reggio Emilia
“I was very happy to receive the call this summer, knowing the team’s expectations and after having a great conversation with the coach and the GM. I’m ready to give everything I have here, I’m really excited. Preseason is going well, we’re starting to have everyone available again, so it’s going to be a great season.”

The differences between the LBA and ACB
“Good question. I’d say the Spanish league has a higher pace, with more back-and-forth action, and it’s more physical. But I have to say they’re both great leagues, so I’m not sure. The difference is a little difficult to describe.”

His role with the new team
“We have great ball-handlers and playmakers. I feel like I can create space for them, knock down open shots, be a communicator on defense and bring my experience to the court to help put everything together.”
