Lorenzo Brown’s great start to the season at Maccabi Tel Aviv, which came after his tremendous summer with the Spanish national team, obviously does not go unnoticed by basketball people around the world. one such Jose Calderona star of the Spanish team in the past and a scout for the Cleveland Cavaliers at the moment, told the sports channel what he thinks about the new coordinator of the yellows and his team.
“Brown really impressed me last summer with the Spanish national team,” Calderon said. “He is an excellent player and he managed the team’s game excellently. I think that at the beginning Lorenzo was hesitant because he did not know the other players, but he adapted amazingly. As soon as Lorenzo received the approval and put on the red jersey – he became our own Spaniard. The team wanted to help him To feel comfortable, the situation suited all parties.”
“I didn’t think at all that we would win EuroBasket,” Calderon admitted, “We knew we were at the beginning of a new process with a new generation that has much less experience. There were no expectations and this group did an amazing job. It proved that team cohesion is much more important than individual players.”
“I follow the Euroleague and after Lorenzo and Maccabi Tel Aviv,” he continued, “Brown plays at his own pace, he can score from anywhere and he is an outstanding morale. He can adapt to different styles of basketball.”
“Can Lorenzo be a replacement point guard in the NBA? Absolutely, like other talented players in the Euroleague who can come off the bench in the NBA. You have to remember that Lorenzo has already played there in the past. Many times it’s a matter of situation more than the ability itself, sometimes the best opportunity for a player A certain amount comes specifically from Europe. The amount of talent is enormous.”
