Meet The Player: Julian Steinfield
We got our first chance to see Julian last week, clearly you can see he is a college prospect just by the numbers he has put up so far this season. At a legit 6’10 , with good hands and a soft touch around the basket, you can see that he has the skillset to play on the next level and will only get better with time.
Q: How long have you been over here in the states since you came from Germany and how has the process been adjusting to the game here In North Carolina?
Julian: I have been here for 5 months , I came over in August , its been pretty good so far. The game is a lot faster here , and a lot more athletic players . The competition is really good , be here is different because there is not a lot to do but its ok.
Q: You guys competed against a really good team tonight , what are some things you learned from this game personally and as well as a team?
Julian: I think we just have to take some better shots at times , and we just have to be more consistent. We had a really good 1st and 2nd quarter but we didn’t play as good later in the game.
Q: Is there a player in the NBA or college that you like to watch and take things from their game?
Julian: I like Kristaps Porzingis, he shoots really well and he’s tall like I am, I think we look alike too. He has gotten bigger since he’s been in the NBA but we both have a slim body so I think its a good comparison. Another player that I like to watch is Karl Anthony Towns, he is a really good player and he is one of my idols.
Q: What is something that you feel like you need to work on?
Julian: I feel like I need to work on everything, getting stronger under the basket and improving my athletic ability. When I get older I want to possibly be able to play a different position , possibly the Power Forward or Small Forward position so I will need to improve.
