But after a few adjustments to game two, the head also seems to play again, as Harrelson said to Sport1 : “For such young players, this is really a tough situation. I found that Ben played very well in the fourth quarter in game and luckily took the swing in game three.”
“I’m just very proud of him. Especially with everything that is going on, with regard to the draft, that could really be a big distraction, but he is fully focused on the team and does everything we can for winning,” said his teammate Jessup at Sport1 .
Saraf use probably
Jessup will surely hope that Saraf will also swirl in game four. When asked about Sport1 on the topic, after game three, Harrelson was also smiling: “I cannot comment on the situation around Ben and Noa.”
