George Conditt National Team Highlights

Gave you a 'like' before seeing the video. Then I had to upgrade to an eggplant after watching.
(This is just me poking fun) but I loved the missed three point shot of his that somehow didn’t get cut out of the video lol.
In all seriousness. He looks a ton better. I realize the competition isn’t as good as P5 basketball, but he looks healthy out there. His balance was better, his release looked quick, he was in a good defensive position a lot which led to him getting some deflections / steals, and he was timing his blocks well. Good for George. We’re going to need him this year.
His physique and movement on the court looked WAY better
I think this is George we were hoping to see at some point. A lot of his problem was getting a foul within 20 seconds of being put out there and Prohm subbing him right away because of it. Always loved how our post players got called for moving screens every couple of times down the floor.
Yeah, my first thought on some of those blocks is of a Big 12 ref jumping in to call a foul lol.
I know that was a highlight video, but where the **** was that guy the past two years?
-- led (and finished, either by scoring or drawing fouls) multiple full-court breaks
-- used his height and length to block shots without selling out his guarding position
-- love seeing a big man block the shot or pull down the rebound and be the first one down the court for his team, and it seemed like George was the first man down more often than not
-- soft hands to surprise passes from weird angles from driving guards
-- finished strong or found a creative angle/used his body to protect his shot at the rim
-- lolwut he made a three?
If Conditt finally starts unlocking his potential next year, then our ceiling goes way up. It's always been there. We've seen it in spurts. Next year will also be the first time he's had a real PG around to help set him up since Haliburton went down win the injury, so hopefully that helps him out, as well.

The competition in most of that video is better than P5 basketball
I shouldn’t have said competition. I should’ve said physicality.

Did end up with 5 fouls in the last two games (I assume they get 6?). That's okay, we have the numbers in the post this year for George to get aggressive, and we need him to be that way.
Those highlights are better than his entire body of work in the 2020/21 season... LOVE to see him out running the floor.
Conditt with Haliburton was a great show. Hopefully Hunter and Conditt can get that going again

I think how I come to that conclusion is that the vast majority of euro leagues are significantly harder than D1. Also, there were quite a few active international NBA players in those videos (no team besides USA has a full roster of NBA talent I think). That leads me to assume if they have a few NBA players, the rest are likely euro league level or similar. A few assumptions in there, but think it is fairly safe.
This. The consensus among credible basketball people is that the Euroleague and even the other top leagues in Europe are better competition than CBB. Plus the NBA players like you said. Mexico isn’t typically very competitive in basketball and I’m not sure what levels their national team guys are playing on so that’s the only reason I said most of the competition.
This may be true, but Conditt has not really had any coaching from TJ or Kyle Green up to this point -- or no more than a few days. I think this is just George finally in shape and holding himself accountable.
There's been a few whispers around the program that his attitude matched his potential and not his current abilities. That seeing himself on a few draft boards as a sophomore went to his head. A dynamic like that would certainly explain a lot about his career arc so far. But if he's about to turn the corner, then, wow.

...doesn't seem half-bad.
He was being coached to maximize his weaknesses. Trying to make a quarterhorse pull a plow and wonder why it isn't working.
This is the GC4 we remember from highlight videos LAST TIME he was playing for PR - instead of CSP.
I agree with a few of the sentiments above.
I'm rooting way hard for George, but at this point I'll believe it when I see it.
