University of Hawaii men’s basketball head coach Eran Ganot joined “The Bobby Curran Show” yesterday to talk about the team’s preparations for the 2021-22 season. This year’s Rainbow Warrior team offers a blend of experienced players at the Division I level and some promising young talents.

A few excerpts:

ON KAMAKA HEPA: “He’s only been with us for two or three weeks. I can already see his growth. You have to honor him from three [point range], he can take you off the bounce if you go slower on him and he uses both hands in the post. I think he’s a guy who’s going to take off as the season progresses.”

ON SAMUTA AVEA: “He’s such a good worker, one of the three best workers I’ve ever coached. He’s the very best in our conference at posting up at his positions … He’s a guy who could be an all-conference player for us.”

ON BERNARDO DA SILVA: “It’s awesome to see him out there … I feel really good about where he’s at.”
