One thing I think he didn’t get enough attention is that he has really become an excellent pitcher and a very good three-point shooter, which is exactly what we need.” Sibodu said, “his full play, his experience, I think he can give confidence to other players. No matter what kind of situation appears, this game is not a big scene for him.”
