Argentinian guard Nicolas Laprovittola has been hands down one of the best players for Barcelona this season. After joining the Catalan side from Real Madrid, some were skeptical about his potential impact on coach Jasikevicius' side but Laprovittola quickly became one of the key pieces for Barcelona.

The player gave an interview to the Spanish website AS and talked about his impressive season and the upcoming EuroLeague Final Four.

"I feel well but now a big challenge is coming, this will be my first Final Four, what can I tell?", Laprovittola said during the interview.

"We had different injuries throughout the season, you know, between Calathes and Higgins, but even without them we kept playing well and winning, we reacted in the right way. Now they're back and they'll be available but I'm still playing well and I feel comfortable", Laprovittola continued.

Talking about his impressive season, the Argentinian guard confessed that it's going even better than he expected.

"I think that this season exceeded my expectations", Laprovittola revealed. "Both my personal ones and the club's ones. But I always trusted my game, I knew what I could give. Today I'm in a different role, I play more like a guard, as a scorer. I think I found my game".

Laprovittola also talked about the Final Four and the chances of Barcelona winning the Euroleague.

"The feeling that I had since I arrived at this team has always been the same, that the EuroLeague is the most important goal for this club. We've arrived here in Belgrade but the job is not done yet".
