Kwan Cheatham, Joventut Badalona\u2019s new signing, spoke to Laura Cristaldi of L\u2019Angolo dello Sport<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Moving to Badalona after Reggio Emilia<\/strong>
\n“I was very happy to receive the call this summer, knowing the team\u2019s expectations and after having a great conversation with the coach and the GM. I\u2019m ready to give everything I have here, I\u2019m really excited. Preseason is going well, we\u2019re starting to have everyone available again, so it\u2019s going to be a great season.”<\/em><\/p>\n

The differences between the LBA and ACB<\/strong>
\n“Good question. I\u2019d say the Spanish league has a higher pace, with more back-and-forth action, and it\u2019s more physical. But I have to say they\u2019re both great leagues, so I\u2019m not sure. The difference is a little difficult to describe.”<\/em><\/p>\n

His role with the new team<\/strong>
\n“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.”<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
