So IF he Nominates for the Draft he stays to afterwards to see IF he get any Invites by NBA Teams to have look at him in there Summer League?
No idea. All we know is that if we doesn't get drafted, he'll come home.
I doubt he would wait around and hope. When he can come home and prepare for the changeover for a crack at the 2nd half of the footy season

Guess he will Check with the NBA to see IF he is a Chance of being Drafted or Not

Clubs tap them on the shoulder and tell them to nominate.

The interesting decision will be if he gets drafted in the second round. That doesn't give you an automatic contract or a spot on a NBA roster. It just gives the club exclusive rights to add you. Most of them have to go off and play in other leagues and many don't end up on rosters.

What does he do then?

I agree but I think he would still give it a go IF he got Picked late in the Draft

Intresting NCAA don't want Pro-Athletes but could say Condon is as he getting paid by us
 
If it doesn't look good in march, will he play out the season till June?
The season will end April 7 if he makes it all the way to the championship game doubtful that happens. Also doubt he will stay at college as I doubt if he has signed with Collingwood as a cat b rookie he will be eligible to play college sport anymore.
 
I'm sensing that football is just something to fall back on. There's also the fact that he hasn't played football for 4 years. It's not easy to come back after that long out. Especially at his size. I know Parker did it but he's much smaller. I know nothing about basketball but wouldn't he make lots more money playing in Europe in the lower league
No he wouldn’t.

Of course its his fallback, and of course he hasn’t played football for years. Otherwise he wouldn’t be eligible to be on the cat b list which is designed for players exactly like him.

I’d also point out size is the reason we are looking at him. Mason Cox says hi.

I also know nothing about basketball and as a result I wouldn’t be stupid enough to make wild assumptions about salaries in lower European leagues.

i'm guessing that he'll make the timberwolves roster replacing joe ingles and be sitting on the bench clapping except for the odd occasion late in the season if the team is out of contention.

So he is playing some good ball. Just not NBA draft quality ball.
I'm not versed in basketball. I only watch the boomers sometimes.
But assuming if you don't get 20+ points consistently starting, NBA prob won't look at you.

Unless you have something else Outstanding and I doubt Condon Does

Like U18 level the numbers only tell part of the story. Donovan Clingan went at 7 averaging 13ppg 7rb and 3bl whereas Zach Edey went at 9 averaging 25ppg 12rb and 2bl. I’m not completely across what NBA scouts are looking for in bigs, but I’d guess it’s more about their ability to play multiple rolls, get up and down the court and the biggest factor is probably the ability to hit the 3…

Defence comes first for a centre. Defend the driving and passing lanes defend post moves and boxing out to win defensive rebounds.

Offensively you want some explosive post moves the odd 3 and some heat on the boards.

I’d have thought multiple rolls was a no-no. Gotta keep those skin folds in check. Multiple roles would be looked upon favourably though.

Trust you to notice the autocorrect miss...

Anyway I should have also been more clear in suggesting defending multiple rolls.
 
Game v Florida State

Scored a team high of 12 rebounds, with 7 points. So impacting even if not scoring very much
Let’s be real here, those ain’t NBA draftee numbers.

Yeah, you're gonna find it difficult to crack into the top 50+ if you're not being outstanding now. Limited time given his name is nowhere near it.

Probably okay for college basketball, but NBA you'd wanting to be standing out from all the hundreds across the country
