John RothsteinHOST
Look, Georgia is not an easy basketball job.
John RothsteinHOST
And if you look, obviously, at the coaches that have been there, whether it was Tom Crean or Mark Fox, it was always a situation where we have seen Georgia feels like pushing a boulder up a hill a little bit when it comes to being nationally relevant.
Ben CriddleHOST
And now he's been at BYU for a season, and he's looking to really ball out for Brigham and take a big step forward for his second season in pro after averaging 18.1 points per game, 4.6 assists, 3.5 rebounds per game in 2025-2006 while shooting 46.7% for the field, 41% from three-point range, and 82% from the free-throw line.
Ben CriddleHOST
He knocked down a career-high 57 three-pointers, none bigger than his buzzer beater at Madison Square Garden to defeat Clemson in the Jimmy V Classic.
Ben CriddleHOST
