Nate Wolters<\/strong> arrived in Israel today and will join his new Maccabi Tel Aviv teammates. Here\u2019s what the guard had to say,<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it can be really fun, but there are a lot of new guys and I think the next few weeks are going to be really important for us to play and practice together. We can get used to each other and to know each other as we have a good group of guys with a lot of talent, so it will be a lot of fun.\u201d<\/p>\n

Role on the team:<\/strong>
\n\u201cWe have a lot of guys that can play multiple positions. Whatever the coach asks me to do I\u2019ll do. I\u2019ll practice hard and be a good teammate and go from there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Starting or backup point guard:<\/strong>
\n\u201cThat\u2019s for the coach to decide, so I\u2019m just coming in here to word hard.\u201d<\/p>\n

Playing with Giannis Antetokounmpo in Milwaukee:<\/strong>
\n\u201cWe were drafted the same year and to see him win the MVP is pretty incredible. When he was young I knew he had a lot of talent but to see it at the full potential is pretty cool.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thoughts about the season ahead:<\/strong>
\n\u201cWe just got to take it day by day and it starts by having a good training camp as we have a lot of new guys. We\u2019ll have to jell together and play hard every single game. It\u2019s early to talk about the playoffs.\u201d

\nElijah Bryant<\/strong> also landed in Israel and spoke about the upcoming campaign:
\n\u201cWe have some great guys, a great coach and a great staff. I\u2019m super grateful for the opportunity and I\u2019m ready to get to work.\u201d<\/p>\n

What he brings to the team:<\/strong>
\n\u201cYou\u2019re going to see a guy that will do everything for the team to win. Whatever that takes whether it\u2019s scoring, defense, rebounding, assists whatever possible to win the game because that\u2019s all that matter at the end of the day.\u201d<\/p>\n

Excited to get going:<\/strong>
\n\u201cIt\u2019s super exciting and there is a lot of talent. It very young but we also have a lot of talent. I\u2019m super excited to meet the guys and get to work.\u201d<\/p>\n
