Here there are players I can learn from, people who have won the EuroLeague like Peters, Hall and Guduric. We can build something special.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>He has taken Nebo\u2019s spot on the roster, with Nebo staying in Barcelona<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201cJosh is a great player, very athletic, lethal when cutting to the basket. He has a great presence around the rim and in that sense we are similar. I\u2019m here to play hard, with energy.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Then comes the debut against Virtus Bologna, and starting well matters<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201cOlimpia is a great club. When you step on the court, you know you have the responsibility of carrying a brand like Giorgio Armarti. Pressure is part of the game, I\u2019m prepared for it. What I\u2019ve discovered is a high-level organization. Everyone knows exactly what to do.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Olimpia have missed the EuroLeague playoffs for four years. Wright, however, has reached them every season with Olympiacos and Zalgiris.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201cAbsolutely. Nobody came here to go on vacation. We know how difficult it is to win in the EuroLeague, but we also know how much we are worth.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>On his experience playing alongside Peters<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201cHe does whatever it takes, whether it\u2019s diving for a loose ball, playing tough defense or hitting important threes. Alee is a winner.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>His first impressions of new head coach Peppe Poeta<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201cHe gets you involved, makes sure everyone feels good on the court. Having been a great player in Italy, he has basketball IQ and knowledge to pass on.
