2017 Pre-Draft Workouts

[Saint Cy of JFC]

I don't follow college basketball but just looked him up when I saw he was local. I was surprised to see he put up some pretty good numbers for a sophomore. Also surprised not much buzz surrounding him.

He is a Mormon sophomore though.

Two years older than other sophomores but two years less experienced than other seniors?

Are Mormons allowed to ball/train on missions?

Are Mormons allowed to ball/train on missions?

They can play. They won't be doing any intense training. If they lived close to the church they could do it for a half hour or so during the exercise time in the morning. Realistically you may be able to play a couple hours once a week. He was in Italy though.

Not really. Would be nearly impossible to get in any real meaningful bball time or training.

Cy (or anyone else),

How did Semi look in the game yesterday?

I had a hard time finding enough people at my level to play good basketball in the states... P-Day ball is brutal. Could do some exercise but it would be just not getting fat... not building strength.

I remember when I first entered the Provo Missionary Training Center and played basketball the first time, a kid grabbed a rebound and proceeded to stand half-way out of bounds on the baseline and dribbling with both hands. I was somewhat appalled that people were still playing defense on that and letting it play live.

It was almost always one on one with other guys standing around... We had a massive challenge from the APs when I first got in the field because they were popping off, but that required some serious rule breaking and travel to arrange a fierce game of three on three.

I had one companion who preferred to "skip" rope. Basically any pickup game at a gym is 10x better than P-Day ball.
