Barabási Csongi is one of the best players of his generation and a 100% product of the Tîrgu Mureș basketball school. He played for three teams during his career at junior level and in every team he had played for, he was a leader.
Born on the 13th of November 1996, he played for Labradors Tîrgu Mureș, Gladius Tîrgu Mureș and BC Mureș-LPS Tîrgu Mureș. Last season he played for the club's U18 team averaging 11 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.3 assists a game in the final stages of the competition. His team finished in an honorable 4th place in a very strong field.
On National Team level he played for the U16 and U18 teams. This year at the Division B European Championships he played in 7 games averaging 1.6 points, 0.9 rebounds and 0.6 assists in 9.4 minutes per game. His team finished in a disappointing 18th place.
The 188 cm tall point guard will play this season for the club's Liga 1 team but he is also training with the National League team, hoping to get a place from time to time on the game roster.
Here is a short interview with the young BC Mures prospect.
Starting this season you were nominated into the BC Mures National League roster. How hard is the change from the youth team to the seniors?
The change is huge, it is much harder to play for the senior team because they are physically stronger and they have experience, they feel the game, but in my opinion the biggest difference is in strength. This is good for me because I have the opportunity to learn from them.
You were a part of the U18 Romanian National Team which had a disappointing run at the European Championships. What was missing in order to get a better performance?
The psychological fitness. The Romanian mentality is such that everything is over after the first lost game. This is exactly what happened to us, we thought we were already through the group stage after beating Sweden (who eventually finished 4th) and we didn't give it all against the other opponents thinking that it would be easy. Otherwise everything was great, the team selection was the best possible one with no important player missing from the squad.
What are your future plans in basketball?
I have big plans for the future. First of all I want to make the National League team. I am training with them. After that if I could get into a European or United States university I would like to play there. Following that I would like to continue playing in Europe, Euroleaguea maybe, or who knows, maybe the NBA. I know that this takes a lot of work but my motto is: WORK HARD, DREAM BIG!
