AS Monaco sporting director Oleksiy Yefimov comments with BeBasket the coup Kemba Walker, who picked the Principality team for their European debut.
“Not only will we have a great player, an incredible talent, but also a fantastic person… We expect him to fit in very well both on and off the pitch.” I have no doubts that he will come to Munich with the right attitude: humble and willing to work. It’s a unique opportunity to regain a player of this level with a personality that suits our club very well. This signature also represents an important step in the development of the AS Monaco brand, not only in the sports field. Was it easy to convince him to come to Europe? You’ll have to ask him…”
Coach Obradovic will have an excellent backcourt where it won’t be easy to please everyone, starting with Mike James. Yefimov doesn’t think Walker’s signing will cause problems for the former Olimpia point guard.
“Mike James should stay with us next season. He can still activate a release clause (valid for the NBA) in the next ten days, but for our part I can say that we won’t do that.
Where do you classify this backcourt in the EuroLeague? 👀 @ASMBasket_EN | @ASMonaco_Basket pic.twitter.com/tJs1pIn62w
