NBA 2K LEAGUE DRAFTFebruary 22, 2020Sten "SAV" Valge-SaarNew York, New York Q. Can I have you say and spell your name and gamer tag? STEN VALGE-SAAR: Yeah, first name is Sten, S-t-e-n, gamer tag is Sav, S-a-v. Q. Last name? STEN VALGE-SAAR: Last name is Valge-Saar, V-a-l-g-e-S-a-a-r. Q. You were picked by the Lakers; how do you feel about playing in such a big market such as LA and such a storied franchise? STEN VALGE-SAAR: It's crazy. It's a great opportunity. I wasn't really expecting to fall this far in the draft. I thought I was going to go to another team, but it's awesome and probably even better I get to play in LA. I get to see that LA atmosphere, and I'm just ready for it. Q. What kind of a person are the Lakers getting off the virtual court? STEN VALGE-SAAR: I think a great leader. I have great leadership skills. I'm super dedicated and always working to get better. Q. You mentioned you weren't expecting to fall this far. Does that fuel you? STEN VALGE-SAAR: Yeah, I just can't wait to prove the other teams wrong. It really helps. I feel like I'm the most skilled player in this draft. Having other teams turn their heads on me, it just fuels me, sure. Q. So the Lakers had a lot of point guard trouble last year. Do you think you can be a more steady presence for them? STEN VALGE-SAAR: Yeah, I think I'm definitely the perfect person for them as a point guard, good scorer, good leader. I think we can really build something good there. Q. When you heard your name called, what was the first thing that went through your head? STEN VALGE-SAAR: Just that rush. It's a great feeling just walking up on the stage, and everybody was kind of going crazy. Q. Do you have people here supporting you? STEN VALGE-SAAR: No one here right now from Canada, but I'm sure they're watching. Q. So Canada to LA, that's a nice change, right? STEN VALGE-SAAR: Yeah, definitely nice, especially the weather, that's for sure. FastScripts Transcript by ASAP Sports   |
