The preparation has been validated Why Mark Cers Withdraw from the American Professional League draft last year Hoping to develop his game with an additional year at Alabama University.

Ceys Los Angeles Sports Club attended last week to attend the John Wooden Awards as one of the final candidates. Although this award went to Duke Freshman Phenom Cooper FlageSirz got a seat on the table.

The preparation also brought some painful reminders in shortcomings. Although he proudly felt to lead Crimson Tide to Elite 8, Sears via tracks with Flagg less than two weeks after losing to Duke.

Sears spoke to SPORTSKEEDA about these developments, shared an insight into his experience before the American Professional League last year and dealt with both his strengths and concerns about entering the draft this year on June 25.

The next individual interview has been edited and intensified.

What does it mean to be part of the wooden awards?

Cerez: “This means a lot. This is like Heisman in university football. It is very similar. It was many great people in this. Therefore, you have an honor in their same area. It is an honor for me to be here. Last year, I had no opportunity to attend. Now for a chance to attend such a prestigious award, it is an honor. “

What do you take from the NCAA championship in Alabama with success and loss in Elite 8?

Cerez: As a player, you want to win everything. But as a player and player program, to be part of three Sweet Sweet respectively, two elite, and four final, many players have not been able to do so. So I look at it from this perspective. I had a really good year. “

How to scrub the elbows Cooper Soon after you lost in front of your roosters?

Cerez: “Oh yes, it was definitely difficult. When I see him with your roosters, I like,“ man, you just took us out of the championship! ” This is the last person I want to see now. But he is a good man and a good person. We were talking and laughing. So everything is good. “

I saw him playing this entire season and rose against it. What do you think this means moving forward in the American Professional League?

Cerez: “He is very talented. The attack and defensive can go. One to five, he can guard. He can play from one to five. It is certainly a special talent. It is a special and special talent. “

What showed that he tells you that it is the real deal and a legitimate noise?

Cerez: Its use on both sides of the ball in an aggressive and defensive manner. He has 3 good balls. He can shoot him at a high level. He has a medium -range game and can play over the edge. Defensive, it can protect one to five. “

For you personally, you withdrew from the American Professional League draft last year after combining because you want to enhance the development of your game in Alabama. Now that another year has passed, what do you think of that extra year for you?

Cerez: The play industry has improved Only with playing in capturing and making the pocket read. My traffic has evolved in general and its average reached (5.1). Just the ability to be that the playmaker was important. Even when my shots do not fall, I am still able to be effective with success.

What do you expect to do this with the draft?

Serz: “I just want to be in a good position. The number (draft) does not matter. I just want to be in a good position where I can die and I can start from A to Z as I did during the university year. “

What do you think will be a good situation?

Cerez: Somewhere where I had the opportunity and somewhere I can die and be myself. I feel very able to intervene and be a rotational player. I feel I am in college for five years, I am ready to go and help the organization. “

What do you take from your association experience?

Cerez: The experience was generally great. I am able to be in the American Professional League training and the American Professional League arenas and talk to the American Professional League GMS. It was definitely motivational. I hope to be able to go to the same process again while going to the American Professional League. I feel this experience will come. I feel I will be more prepared. “

How is that?

Cerez: As in the interviews. Then with the American Professional League, tackling measurements, shooting exercises. I don’t feel that the nerves will be as much as I was in the past year.

I also saw you in other interviews, they really tried to test you in training. What did they do?

Cerez: Yes, they wanted to make you tired. They wanted to see how it works when you are tired and tired. They want to see the type of player you are when you don’t think and see the mistakes you make. “

I wanted to transfer one of the fake draft analyzes of your game. Starting with strengths, one of the ridicule was praised the creation of a shot, shooting and driving. What went to develop these skills?

Cerez: “In Alabama, we are mainly dealing with 3s and Reldups and trying to create a lot of advantages. I feel that my three ball was good and I was able to play from Dhos (Handoffs Drible). I managed to get good games as I hit the big and read the defense. If you leave me open to a wide range of open range, I am able to way of this. I didn’t feel that I offered my inner game during the three years I made in Alabama, but I feel very capable. With my leadership, I do whatever it takes to win and try to encourage my teammates, capture them and be there. I try to lead the role model and set the tone. I play with energy. The energy is very infectious. “

The same task has made clear concerns about your sport and defense because of your size (6 feet -1, 190 lbs). How do you see that?

Cerez: I played at SEC last year. This is the best conference. We had a national hero in this conference. For me to get the numbers I got with 18 points and five assists, as they are the first three places in scoring and reaching the first rank, I was doing all of this while we were winning. So I feel that I was playing against the best athletes throughout the year and in my conference. Size and mathematical concerns, they will only say this because of longitudinal. I feel that I will always make them wrong. This is my mind. “

How can you evaluate yourself defensively with what you want and what you think you need to improve?

Cerez: I always take it personally. When I was in the draft, people used to say my sizes was a commitment. But I am the type that I turn to the fire and ask you why I am not a responsibility. I will not go easily. “

In general, what do you think of overcoming your scale defects?

Cerez:Only people go beyond. I feel that I got to where I am at work. I will keep the same mentality when I go to the next level. It is only related to a weakened mentality. This was something I had throughout my entire university career. I will take this to the next level. “

What is the highlight of this season?

Cerez: The game winner struck Oporn to finish its season.

How do you recover by playing by withdrawing the play and the emotions that you felt before and after the moment?

Cerez: “I remember that we were in three.

What is your trip line in the next few weeks and you are preparing for the project?

Cerez: “I will return to Tuscunusa (Ala) for one day, then I will leave to go to Miami to start preparatory before defense.”
