Pretty much has just been to the grocery store and back home for around a month now with for sure at least 2 more weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As with everyone in a time of uncertainty there are varying ideas and opinions of what is best and when to try and return to normal. Players around the world are in a constant state of waiting \u2013 wondering what\u2019s next. Some like CSKA Moscow\u2019s Mike James have been very vocal in their displeasure of having their lives put on pause. Weems is very solid in his thinking.<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_18778\" style=\"width: 760px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/A49A3129-1864-451A-A6B4-3D241A9DAAA0.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18778\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/A49A3129-1864-451A-A6B4-3D241A9DAAA0.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"471\" class=\"size-full wp-image-18778\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-18778\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kyle Weems Instagram<\/p><\/div><br \/>\n\u201cMy personal opinion is I think the only obvious answer is to be done with this season. The amount of deaths and new cases here in Italy has honestly been scarier and scarier as each day passes. You have no sympathy or care for others if you honestly think we can have another jump ball this season after the number of ones lost here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Strictly talking basketball \u2013 the delay in the season could not have come at a worse time for one of the most talented and hottest teams in Europe. Virtus Segafredo Bologna currently sits atop the table in the Lega Basket Serie A and are tied for the best record in Euro Cup 7 competition. The season also saw the Black V take home runners-up hardware at the FIBA Intercontinental Cup. All of this, a year after winning the Champions Basketball League.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/qWeojryGTgaJpriUdwcHhg.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/qWeojryGTgaJpriUdwcHhg.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"4032\" height=\"3024\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-16196\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n\u201cIt\u2019s been great playing here. The fan base is great, we have a great coach (Sasha Djordjevic) and a great group of guys that all have been leaving their egos at the door and have come ready to work each and every day.\u201d<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_18781\" style=\"width: 1510px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/milos-teodosic-segafredo-virtus-bologna-photo-monaco-ec19.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18781\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/milos-teodosic-segafredo-virtus-bologna-photo-monaco-ec19.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1500\" height=\"999\" class=\"size-full wp-image-18781\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-18781\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">EuroCup<\/p><\/div><br \/>\nThose teammates include arguably the greatest point guard in European history in Milo\u0161 Teodosi\u0107 and his backcourt mate Stefan Markovi\u0107, \u201cPlaying with Milos has been an awesome experience. Not too often can you say you have played with one of the best to ever come across the Euroleague and it\u2019s so easy to play with him. His vision and basketball IQ and overall playmaking ability and him just being able to make his teammates better is something I\u2019ve never seen before and he definitely draws a lot of attention and makes our lives easier.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Personally, Weems is having a great season in both domestic and EuroCup 7 averaging 11-points per outing and four boards. He has been a model of consistency with numbers extremely similar in all competitions. His 32-point outburst on Christmas, 2019 in just 22-minutes versus Fortitudo Bologna is one of many highlights for a player who excels on both ends of the court.<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_18777\" style=\"width: 760px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/E0ADE2D8-94ED-4EFE-8230-363F0DE52737.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18777\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/E0ADE2D8-94ED-4EFE-8230-363F0DE52737.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"481\" class=\"size-full wp-image-18777\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-18777\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kyle Weems Instagram<\/p><\/div><br \/>\n\u201cI just feel really comfortable here. I play with some really talented guys and some great passers like Markovich and Teodosi\u0107. I\u2019m also blessed to be able to play for a coach like Sasa who gives me slot of freedom but is always helping me be a better player every single day.\u00a0Of course, getting out of rhythm at this point of the season is not ideal if things were ever to start back up but honestly &#8211; I don\u2019t see it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Weems, who is in his first season in Italy after stops in Germany, France and Turkey has been impressed with the LBA who has super athletic players with great IQ\u2019s and the fans are some of the best in all of Europe. Seeing that talent each week as well as the top tier teams in Euro Cup \u2013 the pause has left him with a hole missing the game that he loves.<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_18776\" style=\"width: 760px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/FFE69420-B113-4F62-A0EC-E2A674B90FF7.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18776\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/FFE69420-B113-4F62-A0EC-E2A674B90FF7.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"490\" class=\"size-full wp-image-18776\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-18776\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kyle Weems Instagram<\/p><\/div><br \/>\n\u201cThis break has for sure made me miss the game and the competitive edge I enjoy even with everyday practices.
