Izan Almansa: 'Going to the G League was the best decision I ever made'

IA: I will tell you that we have many talented players, but it was not always the same because we were like 17, 18, 19. So it is not the same, although they are great players, but it is not the same. at the physical level. So, that was like a huge adjustment, just knowing that I wanted to get into the NBA, but the people that I was playing with there were aiming for a club or two, or something like that, they were playing the same. thing and just getting used to the intensity and rhythm they play with in the G League. I think that was the biggest difference. But yeah, in practice when we have fights, they help us a lot with being physical and all that. They did not let us off easy, no quarter was given. I think hustle, but just in sports, you learn game by game. You learn tricks, maybe, or to use your body better, just by experience or by playing a lot of games.
