Alex Condon (Future Cat B Candidate?)

[Jen2310]

That’s good, we’ve been keeping track of him for a while now so we clearly rate him.

What are the odds he gets drafted in the NBA though? Have zero knowledge on Basketball but i’m guessing it’s an outside chance at this stage.

I'm not expert, but clearly getting drafted to the NBA is quite hard. Very limited spots so you are competing against players in every college in the US but also internationally.

Stuffing up off the court doesn't affect your draft stock in the NBA.

This guy was taken 2nd overall after this story came out.

Police: Tide's Miller delivered gun used in shooting

Alabama basketball star Brandon Miller brought a teammate the handgun that was used to kill a woman last month, according to police.

Not like he simulated sex with a doll.
So all good.

Another basketballer at the Pies

I'm still the standout IMHO

Don't give a flying feck about him. Waste of space for me.

Tom Morris (yeah I know) claims he was considered a top 5 draft chance before he chose college basketball.

 

[Jen2310]

Some vision in these posts

Certainly worth all the effort I'd reckon

That’s excellent if he was rated as high as that. Need to hit as many alternate talent pathways as possible to keep the re-gen running without bottoming out. That and some good Oppo talent analysis/ID, along with a bit more luck on the F/S NGA pathways and we should hopefully be able to defy gravity.

Is a ruckman like Steene/Ilroo or does he have forward ability

 

[Apex36]

Looks like, he will sign next week. Also if he doesn't get into the NBA in June, He'll come play for us

Gone from a first round prospect to a top 5 prospect. Nice bit of mayo on there from Morris, prepping oppo fans to be outraged if he comes back to play for us.

Not sure. Played as ruck in the WA champs. If he had stayed, I assume they would have tried him forward too.

My recollection is that he’s primarily a ruckman. His mobility at that size (for footballers) is pretty rare, so it would be interesting if he could learn some forward work

Very Low

Looks like the basketball season starts nov 5. We can hope for an injury. Keep an eye on his performances

 

[Vinnie Vegas]

He's probably more athletic than either, based just on having the ability to be a high level AFL prospect and play college basketball.

One would think his upside would be a Mason Cox with the understanding of the game of a traditional AFL prospect. With the added benefit of understanding high-performance sport in a more general way.

Hope he Sucks

Some context is needed here. Condon didn’t play footy in his draft year (2022) and his projection was always “early first round” in his bottom age year which usually means around top 10, but we should all know by now that a projection that far out doesn’t necessarily mean a whole lot. Harry Lemmey and Isaac Keeler were both projected top 5 12 months out and both were lucky to get drafted in the end and Keeler has been delisted now I think?

I’m excited at the prospect of Condon, because 7ft tall players don’t grow on trees and if he’s better than Cox he’ll be a keeper, but don’t get sucked in by Morris’ hyperbole.

Too late, I’ve already decided we’re grabbing a 7ft Dean Cox

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

Sounds like he could actually get a look in in the NBA which would be huge for the kid

But great to know he’s ours if he doesn’t

Only a cm shorter than Mason but grew up on the sport so could be a genuine weapon

 

[Apex36]

Tom Scully

I know Scully has, but I wasn’t talking about him. I thought I heard that Keeler hadn’t been offered a new contract.

He’s taller than Cox.

He’s taller than Cox.

Shit you’re right

Holy crap

 

[Jen2310]

Obviously still 4 months a bit to go, but not in the top 180 players

Looks like he got a 1 year deal until end of 2025
