The players that impressed me the most were Dwight Howard (he looked like Godzilla against us) and Hedo Turkoglu. I haven’t seen Hedo for a long time and I was very surprised to find out, when he came up to say hello before the beginning of our game and gave me a hug, that he became extremely big and strong — wide shoulders, wide chest. He plays at a great level, with great confidence and great quickness. During the first possession he drove Siskauskas to the basket as if he was playing against a young kid. And Siskauskas is not only a strong player here in Europe, but is also a fast player. I was extremely impressed by Hedo. I think the title of the Most Improved Player he received last season gave him a lot of confidence.
