Conti: We are trying to prepare Valentine for his best performance

APU Old Wild West Udine General Manager Andrea Conti, in an interview with Giuseppe Pisano of Messaggero Veneto, assessed Valentine's difficult start to the season. Conti said the club is not satisfied, and the player is also not satisfied with his own performance.

Conti said they are working to put Valentine in a position where he can play at his best both physically and technically. He said the conditioning coach is working with the player and individual meetings are being held. Emphasizing the player's intelligence, Conti added that it is not possible for him to suddenly forget basketball.

According to the GM, Valentine is currently going through a mentally difficult period and lacks confidence. Conti stressed that the club has no criticism of the player's determination and attitude, and that Valentine is a very professional player.
