Noah was probably more athletic, but Condon has sneaky athleticism. That fast break alley oop where he caught the rim at full speed probably single handedly moved him up the NBA draft boards.
If Noah has him in athleticism it's not by much. They both run the floor like 6'6 guys. Condon doesn't have a 40 inch vert but Noah didn't either. Probably 30-36 similar to Noah. Lateral quickness Noah might have him but not by much, Condon is still exceptional there.
All I know is when he rebounds the ball, the opposing team better have cheated back because Condon is coming with the ball or passing down the court. This wore out Johnni Broome. Since everybody’s on the team can run it is tough to guard a fast breaking Gator team. Ole Miss is a very good half court team. They will try to slow it down, hopefully at home, we can keep running.
Both Condon and Noah are listed as 6'-11". But the word back when Noah was a Gator was that he was a legit 7-footer. He apparently liked to surprise his opponents when he came up to them. Psyche job.
Yeah, Noah and Horford both would lead the break at times…like Condon and Haugh. Also makes pressing us really hard since those guys can handle the ball when needed
Agree. And Condon's shot is better even at this stage (both sophomore years). If Condon continues shooting the 3 well and develops more inside moves he is a first rounder for sure.
At this point I would say yes if his three point shots were corner threes as they are shorter. His three point shots are typically from up top at the international distance and not at the NBA distance. It is only a small amount longer but it matters.
Ole Miss driving inside was met by Rueben in his twenty minutes. Ole Miss was continually thwarted by the hulk of a man. We are now a physical team when we need to be. Rueben can run also and can finish around the rim on anybody. Condon and Haugh are quicker and guard wherever their man goes. Rueben is catching on fast and the hook and hold he almost tore off the guys arm. He is also a critical piece of this team. Like Coach Cris Beard said, the Gators swarm all over you. He said they are a legit No.1 seed in the NCAA tournament. He would know. Made me realize, other coaches are pumping the Gators as a special team. We are going to make some noise!
