Timofey Mozgov: ?I want to play 10 to 15 minutes?September 6, 2010 @ 3:37 am by Jorge Sierra ? Filed under New York Knicks, Timofey Mozgov
Did you have offers from other NBA teams outside New York?
Timofey Mozgov: I had some offers from other teams, but (me and my agent) decided to take the best in our opinion.
Which were the other teams that made offers?
TM: I prefer just to talk about New York, not the other teams.
Why was the Knicks? offer the best?
TM: Because there?s a very good coach in New York and I like how New York plays.
Have you spoken with Mike D?Antoni?
TM: Yes. I went to dinner with him and he?s a good guy in my opinion. I don?t know how he?s going to be on the court, but he?s tough. He told me ?Please, don?t be lazy? and that if I work hard I will play for sure.
You?re expecting big minutes already in your rookie year?
TM: Yes, yes, yes. I want to play 10 to 15 minutes for sure. I don?t know what the coach?s decision is going to be, but I would like to play.
Are you excited to play in New York?
TM: It?s two sides. On one side, for sure I?m excited because New York is New York. It?s not a village. It?s a big city. On other side, it?s a big dirty city (laughs). So it?s two sides.
Do you feel you can get distracted in a city like New York?
TM: My girlfriend will help. She promised she will help me a lot.
Would you rather win a ring with the Knicks or a gold medal at the Worlds with Russia?
TM: It?s a difficult question because the NBA is the best league in the world. But here at the World Championship? I prefer both: the medal and the ring.
