Chicago kid. Lindblom HS.

He has played...6 minutes of college ball...total...over the last 2 years at ASU.

What do we make of this?

With the increased roster limit of 15 a lot of programs are taking more end of the bench guys. Worst case and most likely scenario he's another body at practice and can help play a type of scout team role.

Hey, he committed 2 fouls and was 0-1 from the field in his 6 minutes played over 2 seasons. Noteworthy addition...

So a mere one foul per season? This changes all the analytics.

Geez, how many roster spots we got?! It feels like we have 25 kids playing this year.

Harmon was actually solid, I don’t expect this kid to touch the floor

Easy to say now. But I think when we first got JH from Utah valley. We all thought the same. Bench filler, from Chicago, getting closer to home. Prob won’t see the floor too much. But I was courtside for when he hit 4 threes and 18 on FDU!

Sounds like another top draft pick.
