He's your Mason Cox replacement. I think he'll sign with Collingwood if there's no NBA contract put in front of him.

Cal said he is eligible to be signed anytime now, but it'll likely happen toward the end of the year.

Alex has improved significantly and will be one of the keys to Florida's team this season. Most scouts are predicting he will play himself into NBA draft possibility.

Reckon Cox will play for one more season, then hand the reigns to Condon, who will join us at the end of the 2025 season. That's my hope anyway.

Condon hasn't yet conceded his dream of a career in the NBA (or other leagues) is over, and he has to come to that realisation himself first. It doesn't seem likely, but neither can we rain on his parade.

One more year in college and then I reckon he will. Odds probably start to lessen if you don't get drafted after your 1st or 2nd year in college.

Tom Morris reporting he will sign with the pies next week. Will be paid until June, then if he goes undrafted then he'll become a pies player

Slim kid, Cox MKII.

A potential top 5 in his draft year, but he will have to reacquaint himself with footy. We may be looking at 2-3 years of development.

Slim? He weighs at 104kg, so he's decent. But he'll take some time in getting into an afl body rather than basketball one,
Though didnt take Parker long and he was out of the game for 5 years.

The club is extremely confident that Condon will return to Australia and become a Pies player in 2025, as all the mock drafts show he is unlikely to be drafted to the NBA.

Let me just say now, if he becomes a Pie next year, we will win the 2025, 2026 and 2027 Premierships. He is taller and considerably more mobile than Cox and is a natural footy player, with elite skills. He will immediately transform our side, and he's only 20 yrs!

There's others, Alex Keath and Simon O'Donnell's kid both stepped from cricket basically straight into AFL without needing significant development and they Weren't that highly rated as juniors
