Cedi Osman on adapting to Euroleague from the NBA: It's totally different basketball
Cedi Osman, 29, is averaging 5.8 points, 2.1 rebounds and 0.8 assists per EuroLeague contest. It seems that it will take him some time to adjust to a new system after a long stay in the NBA. “It’s not easy to come here, it’s totally different basketball,” he observed. “After seven or eight years in the NBA, where there is a lot of one-on-one play and where there is more space on the court, here everyone closes down and there is no space for one-on-one.”
“It is incomparable. There are also nice atmospheres there [in the NBA], especially in the playoffs, but it’s not like this,” he stressed. “Here, we have 18,000 fans, and it’s nice to see this. I visited Zvezda, I know how it is with Partizan, I think every basketball player would like to play in front of such a crowd.”
