The basketball part of Summer League is nothing new for Marko Simonovic.
He’s been playing that since the age of seven, and was off to Italy at the age of 14 to start playing professionally.
Sure, the 6-foot-11 forward/center has a ton to learn at the NBA level, but he didn’t seem overwhelmed with that prospect.
The off-the-court adjustment he needs to make in his new home? That’s where it’s going to be interesting for the 21-year-old.
When he came to Chicago last month to start working out for his new team, it was the first time he stepped foot in the city.
