Birch: «I can't wait»

Khem Birch talked to www.olympiacosbc.gr, said he can't wait to deal with this new challenge in his career and stated to be excited about wearing the Olympiacos shirt.

«It's a great moment in my career. The most important up to now. I'm going to be playing for a team that has managed to win the Euroleague twice and has won the trophy three times. I'm really looking forward to wearing the Olympiacos' shirt» was what the new 'Thrylos' center had to say at first from Venice where he is on preparation camp with the Canada National team.

The Canadian center knows about the … tradition created by Vassilis Spanoulis with the centers coming to Olympiacos and stressed that "I know what's been going on and I can't wait to be playing alongside Vassilis Spanoulis. He's a Euroleague center, a player that has even played for the NBA, so I can't wait to be on the floor with him"

However, it's not just Vassilis Spanoulis who makes Khem Birch anxious, but Patrick Young as well. "I wish and hope we create a strong pair with Patrick. I know him well and I know that there are going to be battles between us during practices. However, when we'll be getting on the floor, we'll be doing all we can for the good of the team».

Asked about how he would be introducing himself to the fans of the Greek Champions, the 24year old center was clear: "I'll be bringing energy on the floor, I'll be giving it all in defense and I'll be doing all my coach asks for in offense so that my team functions properly».
