QUESTION: Kresimir Cosic was a great player both internationally and at BYU. You had the opportunity to take part in his jersey retirement last season. What was it like to take part in that as someone who watched him play growing up?

ANSWER: Kresimir Cosic still lives in my country. He was a huge legend back home, and just having an opportunity to be here and meet his family was unbelievable for me. You guys cannot imagine how big of a star he was back home. He won everything you could win back in the days.

QUESTION: Can we expect something like that from you here?

ANSWER: I always say that if I'm 20 percent of him you guys will be happy with me.

QUESTION: BYU fans haven't really had a chance to see you play. What can they expect to see from you this season?

ANSWER: They say that I'm tricky. I've gotten a lot bigger since I came here. I'm using all that Europe gave me so far and combining that with my American experience. They say I'm tricky so we'll see.

QUESTION: When you say you're tricky, anything special that you do to earn that description?

ANSWER: I'm tricky with the ball, and I have some shots that not a lot of people will take. Normally they drop; otherwise I sit on the bench.
