Jarell Eddie, recognized for his shooting skills, views his transfer to Peristeri as a chance to enhance his game and not just remain a player who catches and shoots. Following a successful season in Cluj-Napoca, during which he scored an average of 10.2 points and had a 47.2% three-point shooting percentage in EuroCup games, Eddie is excited to showcase a new aspect of his game in Greece.
A Chance to Evolve
Eddie, who is 32 years old, welcomes the new challenge at Peristeri. Eddie told BasketNews that the team asked him to do tasks he had never done before. He is enthusiastic about embracing a new position that enables him to move past being known solely as a sharpshooter. He stresses that he doesn’t want to only be known as a shooter. Eddie anticipates taking on a larger role in Peristeri, serving as a playmaker while alternating between small forward and power forward based on the opposition.
More Than a Shooter
Jarell Eddie has built a solid reputation as a dependable forward who can consistently make shots over the years. Since he came to Europe in 2018, he has always shot at least 38% from three-point range in European competitions. However, he believes his game has additional aspects. During the summer, I put in a lot of effort to guarantee I can accomplish more. “I aim to demonstrate that,” Eddie states.
Reflections on the NBA and EuroLeague
Jarell, while excited about his new role, also ponders the NBA’s evolving trends that frequently push older players to the sidelines. He also has pleasant memories of his time at Fenerbahce with coach Igor Kokoskov, who he considers one of his top coaches. In the future, Eddie predicts his top pick to win the current EuroLeague season, highlighting his knowledge of European basketball.
