Simon Birgander has been playing in Spain's top league with Joventut for the past 6 years. He came from Sweden to Spain at 17 years old and started his pro career in Logroño with Mike back in 2016. The guys talk about Simon's crazy long arms, crazy stat lines he had in lower leagues, his development, and a 30+ hour trip that sounds like a nightmare.
