Florida Gators center Alex Condon was relatively unknown when he arrived, but he'll have a big role next season.
Now, Condon did have a decision to make regarding what sport he was going to play. Basketball wasn’t his only option; heBut despite being talented in rugby and even participating in water polo, Condon turned his focus towards the hardwood instead.Condon averaged 7.7 points per game, 6.4 rebounds and 1.2 assists in his inaugural season with the Gators. Moreover, Condon was a major rim protector.
Against Merrimack, Condon worked for his first career double-double off the bench. He scored 12 points to go along with his 16 rebounds, marking the most rebounds by a UF freshman since Al Horford’s 18 against Alabama in 2004-05. With both games, he became the first Gator this century with 10 offensive rebounds in a game and the first UF freshman with multiple 15-rebound games.Condon is more than just a rim-protecting rebounder for the Gators. He has shown great footwork and back-to-basket ability to go along with his playmaking vision as a big. On his passing, Condon does have the vision to find his teammates that most centers don’t.
One thing he must improve upon going into next season is his shooting. He was 11-for-38 last season from behind the 3-point line.
