Re: Wizards Pick Oleksiy Pecherov
Pecherov's chat on espn
Kahron: Oleksiy, How soon do you think you will be able to contribute?
SportsNation Oleksiy Pecherov: (10:03 PM ET ) I need some time. Most playes need a year to become great players so I'll keep working hard and see what happens. I want to become a great player as soon as possible so it's in my hands to make that happen.
Jon: Which NBA player do you think your game most resembles?
SportsNation Oleksiy Pecherov: (10:04 PM ET ) I like Dirk Nowitzki a lot. He's a great player from Eurpoe and he's a great example for me with his skills, and to keep working hard to become a great player.
Chad: Is it going to be hard playing in the U.S. with your family back in Ukraine?
SportsNation Oleksiy Pecherov: (10:05 PM ET ) When you go to a new place there is a lot to get used to, the city and the atmosphere and everything else. I want to bring my family here for the first few months and I think that will help me a lot. I was in this situation in Paris, my first trip abroad. It was tough for a while but once I met some people it became easier.
James: What do you see as the strongest point of your game?
SportsNation Oleksiy Pecherov: (10:07 PM ET ) I think I can score and I am confident in my shot. Also, I like to rebound and block shots. But there are a lot of little things about basketball and to be great you have to work on everything. I want to be a complete player and I will work hard to make that happen.
