Alex Condon (Future Cat B Candidate?)

[TradeDraft]

Any observations you may want to share from this video Dave, or do you just want us all to watch 10 minutes of a college game of a sport that we aren't particularly interested in?

Don’t you want to see his Highlghts as has a Few in Them

Mostly Passing and a Few Blocks

Olivier Rioux

Just play him

I'd rather just continue to read about everyone's increasing confidence that his numbers aren't NBA draftee worthy and that he'll be in the VFL on July 10 and AFL for the finals series.

Can we draft Olivier Rioux just so we can hear BT mangle his name?

I did see this.

#21 Alex Condon


The Aussie almost posted a double-double as he stuffed the stat sheet for the Gators in a thrilling win on Wednesday. Condon may not have been the most impactful scorer, but he was willing to do whatever it took to get his side over the line. The forward was everywhere for the winning side, posting nine points on 2/4 shooting from the field, with both of those being three-pointers while also adding three points from the charity stripe. Condon also pulled down 10 rebounds, dished out five assists and swatted three North Carolina shots in an excellent all-around effort from the exciting talent.

SCOUTING NOTES | Florida vs. North Carolina

The Florida Gators held on for a six-point win over the North Carolina Tar Heels on Wedneday morning, with several players standing out.

Why won't he tank!?! I feel like we just need him to have a run of three bad games just to close the door on the NBA dream once and for all, but he seems to be continually putting up 'near enough' type games that keep him in contention.

That, or have some sort of off-field scandal that is specific to the USA and easily ignored when back on Collingwood soil.

I mean, we could just start spreading rumors about him

 

[Eyesonthepies]

I watched part of the game. Certainly didn't dominate and it would be hard to see him being drafted with his numbers, unless he has a massive post Christmas season. What I did like was he was the one player who seemed to like the physical side of the game(by basketball standards) I also get the impression he is very much a team first player.

Nice anticipation here from the big guy, although movement is far from cat-like!

[Jen2310]

Last game of 2024 (against a team thats only won 2 games)

Condon had 2 points, 7 rebounds from 21 minutes.

From January, their schedule seems to get harder with games against Kentucky (ranked #10), Tennessee (#1), Arkansas (#23), Missouri, Texas, South Carolina, Georgia
Feb goes into schools like Auburn (#2), MS State (#19), Oklahoma (#12), Georgia, then three games in March against Texas A&M (I knew a girl who used to go there), Alabama (#5) and Ole Miss (#16)

All he needs to do is go on an online rant about how good our gun laws are and all' will be sweet.

Florida just lost their first game of the season 100-106 to Kentucky

Just send someone over from the Melb football press and this will be fixed in no time

Welcome to Collingwood: Alex Condon.

They were always on the back foot when. they let Florida get a 14 point start early
And Condon had 12 points, 12 rebounds

Good stats

 

[Jelly Bean]

Good stats

Yeah, sure, but I think you (and NBA scouts) need to focus more on his poor free throw conversion and blatant and vocal hatred of democracy, capitalism, and freedom.

I can’t find it now but Bogut ran through the Too 100 rankings for the next NBA draft and there were 5 Aussies and Condon wasn’t one of them. He also noted that the three in the top 50 were probably the only ones likely so Condon is way off this upcoming draft.

It’s then whether or not he wants to give it another year.

If I was Condon I'd squeeze every last cent out of the scholarship even if I wasn't being drafted. He's still going to come out of it with a degree.

He could transfer his partial degree back to an Australia university and complete it here.

Also, if he is successful at AFL, he probably won't need a degree.

If I was advising Alex the first point would be my advice.

Transfer back to an equivalent degree or work through if you can complete online and make sure you get the degree whilst pursuing a magpie premiership.
