"The best team that we'll be playing is probably South Florida during Christmas," Clemente said. "We're not playing anyone real big this year because Coach is worried about the inexperience of the team."
Looking beyond his Harvard career, Clemente sees some more time out on the court for him after he graduates.
"I think I am going to play basketball in Europe," Clemente said. "Tim Hill is doing that right now in Amsterdam, and he's doing great over there. [The European leagues] pay you to play and they give you a car and a place to stay. So, I am definitely thinking about it."
But for now, Clemente's thoughts are grounded in the challenges of this season. He is encouraged by the hard work and talent shown in practice by the young team and has high hopes for the season.
"I feel like some kind of a veteran because I've been here for more than two years, and what I've learned is that we have to take it game by game, and just try to get every Ivy League game that we can."
And though he's just a junior, Clemente is ready to lead in that process.
