Like to throw the occasional curve ball LOL
Was projected as a first round prospect in his draft year until he chose basketball, so yeah you’d think he’s got the talent in addition to the size.Is he actually any good or just an Uber tall? Looks like some major weights will be needed.

Now now, let's be fair... He has a standing reach of 10 feet, so he can touch the rim flat footed, plus he wears a size 20 shoe, so on his tiptoes, he's gaining another foot, so he doesn't even need to jump a single inch to dunk the ball.barely needing to jump 6 inches off the deck to put it in?
Third team? What does that mean? Is that good?Named to preseason All-SEC 3rd team, which is a recognition of how well he’s going and at the same time a nod to how hard it is to put yourself in calculations for an NBA career.
His first Gators game of the new season is Nov 4th, and to paraphrase Alex, he’s keen to get in there if coach needs a “big” or if someone’s in foul trouble.

It's good, but a mile off NBA consideration. Third team is like if there were 3 All Australian teams, and he was in the third best oneThird team? What does that mean? Is that good?

Most of these are made up of seniors who are 3 years older than him. He's actually tracking much better than expected (unfortunately for us). Was expected to barely play in his freshman year and was a key contributor and will most likely start this year.It's good, but a mile off NBA consideration.

Generally, but for those who want to make it to the NBA it generally seems to be important to be making these teams young.Most of these are made up of seniors who are 3 years older than him. He's actually tracking much better than expected (unfortunately for us). Was expected to barely play in his freshman year and was a key contributor and will most likely start this year.
Just for those who don't know the USA basketball college system.
SEC is one of 32 college basketball conferences.
He's been named in the 3rd team for one of the 32 conferences.
Eg. He's a ****ing good basketballer, but still miles off being in draft contention.
Occasionally. Typically in more athletic prospects than Condon. His game isn't too NBA suited from my readThe key question is - do players ever get drafted into the NBA if they were in a thirds team for one of the 32 conferences at Alex's age? Or not.
It's not like that at all, because each team is only 5 guys. So 3rd team All-SEC means they predict he'll be amongst the Top 15 players in the conference, and 7 footers don't grow on trees, so he's one of the top big men in the conference. It's a pretty big honor for a guy in his second college season.It's good, but a mile off NBA consideration. Third team is like if there were 3 All Australian teams, and he was in the third best one
That's incredibly deceptive, because a lot of conferences are essentially complete trash.SEC is one of 32 college basketball conferences.

The size of the team doesn't change the comparison, given that is simply a matter of different sports. It was a layman's comparison.It's not like that at all, because each team is only 5 guys.

If he were to improve on that, he might start getting some draft chatter.

I think this is a pretty balanced and accurate take.He’s playing the 5. NBA teams are heavily prioritising bigs than can stretch and space with a reliable shot from deep. He’s gone at just under 30% from 3(which is ok if it improves) but it’s on extremely low usage. His fg% for a big is nothing special, guessing he misses plenty around the rim. He’s also older than most draftees which usually means a slide. Without knowing his defensive capabilities or athleticism, iq etc he sounds if anything, extremely late second round, or undrafted. He’d be fighting for a 2 way, against more talented players.
See how he goes this season, if fg% goes up, and he takes and makes more 3’s he has an outside chance of being drafted
That's incredibly deceptive, because a lot of conferences are essentially complete trash.
The SEC is ranked third. Their 3rd team is better than the first team of most conferences.
There's only 8 decent conferences and the rest are basically irrelevant.
