After a 2024-2025 season marked by a place in the second best defensive team in the NBA and a 9th place in the classification of the best defender, TOUMANI CAMARA will start his third season in the big league in Portland and wants to show that he has still spent a milestone. “”I was very busy this summerhe pointed out during the traditional day reserved for the media for the start of the preseason. I worked a lot on my game to be better offensively but also defensively by watching videos to learn to be smarter and commit less faults.”
From its second season in the NBA, the Brussels resident erected as one of the best defenders in the League. “”I have never abandoned this aspect of my game because that is what led me where I am now. Collectively, we have good players and it is clearly on this side of the field that we can have an impact.“
After an average of 7.5 to 11.3 points between his first and second season, the winger wants to continue on his momentum. “”I think everything was done step by step for me. Now that I have a well -established role in defense, I can’t wait to show what I can do in attack too.“
Still under a beginner contract, the 25 -year -old is eligible for a lucrative contract extension with the Blazers but there is not yet white smoke. “”I leave that to my agent and I focus on the sportsman. It’s only my third year and I still try to understand this business side of the NBA. It is possible that there were discussions with my agent but I do not care about that. If I focus on the field, then things should evolve naturally.“
