Prieto Cerame[apos]s Expectations
'After being here for a year already, I have many more expectations for myself. As a team, I think we have pretty much the same team coming back and we have the same amount of talent. Last season we had some moments where we chose to be great, but this season I want to see the things we have been doing in the spring and summer come out on the court.'
