Now, the 28-year-old center is one of the top of his kind in the EuroLeague. He averages 14.9 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 1.5 assists, serving along with Marko Guduric and Nigel Hayes-Davis as the most pivotal players on Fenerbahce. 
"I just work really hard on my game and play a lot of basketball in the summer. I don't take breaks. That's who I am."
Coach Dimitris Itoudis wasn't afraid to pick Motley following the player's outstanding season in the EuroCup and the VTB, which was cut short due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Loko and Motley were projected as one of the favorites to win the European trophy and get promoted to the EuroLeague.
For two Loko members, Johnathan and Darius Thomspon, that promotion came on an individual basis. This season they're both working miracles in Istanbul and Vitoria, respectively.
