After a long period in the yellow-blue of Maccabi Tel Aviv, Scotty Wilbkin Launched a new chapter in his career when he switched to the yellow and black of Fenerbahce this summer. The one who was the biggest star in Yad Eliyahu Hall has now joined the impressive project of Dimitris Itoudis, and a few days before the first Euroleague round he talked about his ex, Lorenzo Brown and the expectations for the upcoming season.
“I spent four years at Maccabi and I knew that there would be significant changes in the summer,” he said in an interview with Eurohops, “I believed that for me it was a good time to make a change and as soon as I decided to leave Maccabi I knew that there was a high chance that I would come to Turkey thanks to my passport. Fenerbahce was rebuilding and I was the most suitable option.” .
Later, we were asked about the issue of the citizenship of Maccabi Tel Aviv’s coordinator, Lorenzo Brown, to the Spanish team, which ultimately ended in a great European Championship: “I can look at the issue from both sides. On the one hand, it makes sense that you only play if you really have a connection to the country, and on the other hand, it becomes the game to be more exciting and of higher quality.”
About the tough competition in the Euroleague, the guard said: “It’s like that every year, every team has a goal to win the championship and every team is chasing it. In the meantime, we’re doing well, this is just the beginning and we plan to build a good relationship between the players and the coaches.”
