A year ago, Gyorgy Goloman had yet to play in a U.S. high school game. Now the 6-foot-10 Hungarian native is practicing with the UCLA men’s basketball team, hoping for a spot in a crowded frontcourt rotation.
He’s also been acclimating to his new home.
“It’s not hard to adjust to Los Angeles,” Goloman said, smiling. “But yeah — Hungary is a whole different world. It’s hard to explain without experiencing it. But I like it a lot here.”
He talked to reporters about what he missed most about his homeland, his favorite American foods, as well as who he thinks he compares to in the pros.
