Magic's Mario Hezonja expects to acclimate well to the U.S.

Mario Hezonja spent the last three years in the bustling, picturesque city of Barcelona. He has traveled throughout Europe as a professional basketball player. And he speaks five languages: Croatian, Serbian, Catalan, Spanish and English.

So, even at 20 years old, Hezonja already is a man of the world.

But the Orlando Magic's first-round draft pick still faces one more major adjustment: acclimating to the United States.

On Tuesday, he traveled to the U.S. for just the second time in his life. He's eager to see more of his new home city, Orlando — so eager that he has peppered Orlando Magic general manager Rob Hennigan with questions about Central Florida.
