At only 21 years old, Leandro Bolmaro will debut this season in the NBA with the shirt of Minnesota Timberwolves. The native of Las Varillas will seek to earn a space in the coach’s rotation Chris Finch with a mission to establish himself as a trusted player with the future in mind. In his first press conference, El Comercio asked him about his role in the team and his relationship with his teammates.

Despite having lived in Spain lately, Leandro Bolmaro he speaks English well. In his presentation more than a month ago, the Argentine responded to the US press in that language and did not present great problems in developing his answers. Sources from El Comercio have confirmed that the Argentine has no problems communicating with his coach or teammates in the group in English.

Despite this, the former Barcelona prefers to speak to the media in Spanish. This was betrayed by the huge smile that he gave us when we were the only Spanish-speaking media outlet in his presentation with the T-shirt of Timberwolves.

The South American press officer of the NBA He commissioned me to open the press conference. I made the following two inquiries: “Leandro, What is the role you will play in Timberwolves? And what is the relationship you have with Karl Anthony Towns? “

The Argentine player answered the following: “I was talking a bit with coach Chris Finch, with the players and with the members of the technical staff, my role in Timberwolves it’s clear: help the team from wherever you can. I must be prepared to contribute whenever, wherever and whenever. I want to give them my energy, contribute with my intensity on the court, that’s where my role happens here ”.

The second question came from KAT’s praise for Bolmaro. In dialogue with El Comercio, the pivot said that “Bolmaro he is a special player, he is one of the most complete with whom I have shared the court in the NBA ”.

Given this, Bolmaro said the following: “About my relationship with the players, not just with KAT, it’s very good. I have found incredible people here: players, coaches, staff, among others. It is an honor for me to be able to share experiences with them. I’m really lucky to have made it this far. “
