MANILA, Philippines – After making his debut with the Talk 'N Text Tropang Texters, veteran big man Danny Seigle is feeling comfortable and happy with his role on his new team.
Seigle scored 13 points and seven rebounds as the Texters defeated GlobalPort, 106-93, Tuesday night.
“These guys are great,” Seigle told PBA.ph following his first game. “They are warm in welcoming me. It’s like I was playing with them for a while now.”
Seigle said he is still working on getting back into rhythm and regaining his game shape, but feels comfortable in TNT’s run-and-gun offense.
“I know I have to get my rhythm and my legs back. It’s just being on the court again. I’ve been practicing for a few days and it’s going to take a while, but I’m really comfortable,” he said.
“I only had three practices, and that’s only three times on the court for the last three months. I kept myself in shape, but game shape is very different. It looks very good for a first game,” he added.
“It’s been a while since I’ve been in a run-and-gun team, but it’s fun.”
Seigle said he has been informed by TNT coach Norman Black that he has a supporting role in the line-up, something that he welcomes.
“I didn’t come here to disrupt anything,” he said. “I came here to complement them.”
“They’re heavily motivated and extremely focused. You could definitely tell that they’re a championship team. These guys are proven winners,” he added.
