Defence is the big thing for the tall white guys. You just don't often get the combination of size and explosive movement that West African genetics throws up so much more regularly.

Yeah, a lot less likely to be 7 feet tall with a massive wingspan and bouncy. Condon has size, but the strength mismatch hurt him. His opponent (Lampkin) was listed at 300lbs!

Handlogten is taking a redshirt (long-term injured) season for 2024-25, meaning Condon is expected to be a starter after his promising freshman year. Well done Alex!

Bastard is doing well! Although by no means an indication of NBA ahead

Compare the scale of the coffee cup in the girl’s hands (normal size cup) with scale of the coffee cup in Alex’s hands (tiny size cup)
Many years ago I watched Shaq mucking around on court and wondered why he was shooting with toy sized basketballs? …
… it took me a while to realise he wasn’t.

I mean, he’s 7ft tall and playing College ball. I’d be shocked if he wasn’t selected for this.Just what we didn’t need

Probably worth a mention that Wilson played for the Boomers too. This isn’t really all that big of a deal in regards to his NBA/AFL journey/choice.

Tom Wilson also played for the boomers and his aim was for NBA also.

Its NBA or back to footy for him. He has no interest in anything else.

He'd make an interesting Cat B rookie, but I doubt he will turn down the 600million USD he will make over the course of his NBA career

Jen, maybe while he is there he can tap a couple of the others to come as Cat B rookies too. We have never fully replaced Phil Inn from the basketball sphere

Alex's manager was on Gettable this week, and mentioned that while he is currently in Japan doing some things with the boomers, and still trying for NBA - As hard as that may be, the club and his management will sit down in a couple months as he reaches the 3 years non registered and work how what a cat B contract for 2025 onwards may look like for Alex.
He talked about the process of talking to clubs before nominating the pies and how Fly's history of a development coach and what he did with Coxy to get him to where he is today definitely helped.

Damn, that’s a long time to wait for a cat b contract.

Given how hard it is to get into the nba, you'd suggest he'll end up at the pies sooner rather than later.

Damn Jen, why the thumbs down it was clearly a joke
It would be a nice problem to have, but if we ended up with all of Condon, Smit and Steene at the club next year, just fitting them all in for a game each week might be tricky!
