    Yes, three 10-12 foot jumpers iirc, he went two for three, both makes had the benefit of friendly rim bounces. Can't remember which game it was but he shot 2 in that game and I dont think we ever saw that again lol

    Maybe a question is does a player focus improvement only what the NBA is looking for or focus on all around skills to help his college team win games?

    That was Jeff Goodman. He knows absolutely nothing and has zero NBA contacts, lol.

    True, but he called Lee to Florida when Kansas and St John's were still in the running and he is dead right about Condon.

    Condon did nothing during the tourney to boost his draft status.

    He needs another year

    5 or 6 mediocre games doesn't undo the tape of his body of work this year and the clear potential he has. He was probably affected by the ankle as well. The NBA doesn't draft in the 2nd half of the 1st round for instant starters they draft based on potential and condo has a lot of it. Rserina is right, Goodman has no NBA pedigree or knowledge and his opinion on this is just hot air

    Chins, Condon, Urban, and Big Ollie are all international players and have extra rules limiting greatly what they can do to earn NIL money. I hope our staff is working with these guys to help them maximize what they can earn.

    Chin needs to lower his NIL demands a bit
