Lamar Stevens joined Partizan this summer and is set to make his EuroLeague debut in the black-and-white jersey this Friday.
"I think it's going to be a good game. They've brought in some new players this season... and some really good ones. They're well-coached, with a creative staff. So, I anticipate a truly fun, competitive game, and we're excited for the challenge," said Lamar Stevens.
When asked about many fans considering him Partizan's biggest summer signing, he responded:
"Yes, I mean, I've heard that... But I'm just excited to get out there and be myself, to be the best version of myself. I believe everything else will follow from that. We've brought in some truly great players this year. You know, I think Luka has been incredible... We have a bunch of guys who work really hard, so I'm excited for everyone here. I think we have a really good group."

He further elaborated on what that "best version" entails.
"Well, I think it depends on what the game demands. I feel I'm a very versatile player. If we need to win with rebounds, if we need to win with defense, if we need to win with points... I can impact the game in many different ways. So, I wouldn't say it will look the same every night, but the impact on winning will always be there."
Finally, he revealed whether he is satisfied with his role on the team.
"Well, yes, I think everything's good so far. We haven't played a real game yet, so we'll see, but for now, everything's fine. I'm happy with the communication with the coach and the team leaders who were already here and how they see me. And I think that will only progressively grow as we get to know each other better."
As a reminder, the game between Partizan and Olimpia is scheduled for Friday at 8:45 PM in the Belgrade Arena.
