The American forward (25, 6&#8217;8) talked about what he expects from his debut season: &#8220;I&#8217;m excited to finally be here&#8221;.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"LTR\"> \t\t\u00a0<\/div>\n<div dir=\"LTR\"> \t\t&#8220;I played against Maccabi last season and the fans made a strong impression on me. Their numbers and the level of support was amazing. I&#8217;ve yet to play in front of a large crowd on a regular basis and that&#8217;s something I&#8217;m really looking forward to&#8221;.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"LTR\"> \t\t\u00a0<\/div>\n<div dir=\"LTR\"> \t\tRudd was optimistic about the team&#8217;s chances to win titles this year: &#8220;With the players that were brought in, and the players that remained from last season, we have a great shot at winning titles. This team has players that know how to win trophies and I look forward to learning from them&#8221;.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"LTR\"> \t\t\u00a0<\/div>\n<div dir=\"LTR\"> \t\t&#8220;I believe this team will be built on defense and rebounding and I&#8217;ll do what I have to do to fit in. I&#8217;ll sweat as much as I need to gain minutes. We have players that can score &#8211; Goudelock, Sonny and Seeley. I&#8217;ll try to help them as much as I can&#8221;.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div> \t\u00a0<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The American forward passed his physical and will start practicing with the team: &#8220;I&#8217;m waiting to see the fans.
