In addition, Saint-Supéry has recalled that completing his university studies in the United States has been a very well-considered decision. The presence of Nikola Mirotic, signed by Valencia Basket last Tuesday, has also been an important factor for Saint-Supéry, who has praised the trajectory of the forward and the impact he can have in the locker room.
