Larkin talks about national teammate Shin Kyung: He is a bit like Jokic and can lead us to win European Championship medals

Turkish national team men's basketball player Sean Larkin talked about his teammate Shin Kyung in an interview today, saying that the Rockets center can help the team win medals in this European Championship.

Larkin emphasized Shin Kyung's progress, pointing out that he is now handling the ball more from the three-point line, saying: "The Rockets gave him more opportunities to handle the ball, making him a key player on the offensive end...a bit like Jokic. It's hard to find a player of his size, who can pass and score and shoot. FIBA is different from the NBA, but efficiency is key. If he can play smartly in a small space, he might be one of the best players of the tournament and help us win medals."

Turkey was divided into Group A with Serbia, Latvia, Czech Republic, Portugal and Estonia in this European Championship.

Larkin is a naturalized player in Turkey. He was the 18th pick in the first round of the NBA in 2013. He played for the Knicks and the Nets.
