While speaking to Boston Globe, Shane Larkin, who is cleared for full basketball and weight-training workouts after his shoulder injury, explained his position regarding potential European offers.
“They know I’ve been over there and they know I’m not afraid,” Larkin said. “A lot of NBA guys are afraid to go over there. I think it’s because they don’t think they’re good enough to go over there and then come back, but I know now from experience that I’m good enough to do it. I’m not afraid to do it if that’s the best situation for me.”
However, his clear priority is the NBA. “I’ve been right there with a couple of teams, and some teams are there that we’re still working on and still trying to figure out the role and fit and money,” Larkin said. “But it’s been positive. Everything’s been good. I’m just waiting for the right opportunity to come across the board and go from there.”
“I think I’ve shown I’m not afraid to step out of the box and continue to get better,” Larkin said, “and once I show that and a team gives me that 100 percent commitment that, ‘Yeah once you’re on the roster we want you to be our guy. We want you to work and continue to grow with that team,’ then that’s the role I’m looking for.”
