Don't forget AG yesterday
Re: Former Cats in the NBA
AG looked pretty good last night - he fits in really well with Jokic.

Goodman probly told him Hell No!
Bonehead!
Arizona State might have the most surprisingly anemic history in men's basketball of any program that you might think is better than it is.

Re: Former Cats in the NBA
I think it’s about damn time Arizona got a TBT alumni team.
Notable players I think could play:
Nick Johnson
DWill
Rondae
Stanley
Kobe Simmons
Brandon Randolph
Brandon Williams?
Kaleb Tarczewski
Brandon Ashley
Keanu Pinder
Gabe York
Nico Mannion

Technically he's a fucking cat, but I love the sentiment.
Not really an NBA fan, but if the Pacers win it all, I'm buying a TJ jersey.

A monster off the bench
Re: Former Cats in the NBA
TJ would not be in the NBA if not for Sean Miller calling in favors to get him invited to the NBA tryouts. Miller knew his talent when he could shoot the ball hardly at all. He is a dog.
Re: Former Cats in the NBA
TJ is so fun to watch - love seeing him succeed in the NBA. We haven't had a true great PG since him at UA IMO.
Fact that Mathurin is also on the Pacers is a win as well!

I had no idea that Brandon Williams was still on the Mav's roster

I will not see a worst take regarding any subject today.
Re: Former Cats in the NBA
Lots of TJ McConnell in my feed especially lately. This is the best article lately:

Here's 9 thefts in one half, an NBA record.
https://www.nba.com/watch/video/tj-mcco ... first-half
Also there's a of 50 takeaways on in bound passes

The internet is brimming with love for TJ.
Say the name.
You're goddamn right.

Re: Former Cats in the NBA
I remember the days when teams wouldn't even guard TJ because he rarely took a shot in college.
Look at our boy now.
