Oh I have no idea but someone will likely pick him up in the G-League and he'll make his way from there. Just saying I doubt he's just going to pack his bags for over seas.
Yeah, he'll get one more shot I think. That call from overseas just got quite a bit louder though

Not exactly sure.
This video caused me to actually laugh out loud. This looks like me running out of ideas at the end of my 8 year old son's basketball practice.

Watched alot of basketball and had never seen the sit-in-the-chair-while-I-do-some-sick-moves-then-pass-it-to-you drill.
Why is he throwing tennis balls at him in the first clip? What is that supposed to teach him? Isn’t he supposed to use wrenches if he wants him to dodge stuff?

I can unequivocally say Kris won't be as good offensively as either Keegan or Luka. They had two historic years back to back. If Kris can average 16/7, then I think that will help a lot and Iowa gets in on the 8-11 spot.
Will the big ten be bad again this year? That would help Iowa.

I think he is shooting so much from 40 foot to help his defense. If he is already 40 foot down floor, he can get back in 10 seconds instead of 20. Actually kind of genius level stuff.
I remember the last time ISU fans were laughing at Garza for practicing deep threes, then he proceeded to hit about 5 in a row as Iowa and Garza trounced ISU.

He will be a millionaire with what he makes overseas. So he is doing okay

His dad can invest it for him

Just an observation. Garza was an offensive stud in college. Everyone knew he would struggle at the next level because of his athletic shortcomings. I was surprised he was drafted and got time at the next level TBH.

We aren’t laughing at shots. We are laughing at his slow feet.

This reminds me of when Bobo signed some shoes and left them on the court of the other 20 loss ISU team that Iowa played.

And ISU had a packed house and fully expected to win that game and left shocked that Iowa did that to them on their home floor. That was when ISU fans thought Prohm was a good coach.

In December? Sure, fans are going to be there for a rivalry game.

ISU fans were wavering on Prohm after a weird season prior and other red flags.

There were other signs that ISU was bad and Iowa fan players jumped on the opportunity.

That's funny that you're still basking in it like a good little Franny follower though.

If only Prohm could accomplish some of the things Frannypants has. Wait, never mind.

People make mistakes. Kinda like when a player signs with Iowa. it happens.

But it is also great for a fanbase to pack a stadium to support their team even when they aren't good. But what do I know.

To be fair we hadn’t lost to Iowa in Hilton in almost 20 years at that point so yeah, it was shocking getting trounced.

Also, in reference to our packed house, Hilton is basically always packed.

Give Fran time, he just got there.
Do you realize how big of a hole he was in when he got there? It takes decades to recover from a coach like Lickliter. It'd be completely unheard of to win...and I'm just pulling this number out of the air....say 2 games one year and then make a Sweet 16 the next. That just doesn't happen. Ever. Never ever.
