Here are some other sights and sounds of other notable former Wildcats, now Veteran players

Aaron Gordon – Orlando Magic

High-flying Aaron Gordon is looking to continue to fly high this season with the Orlando Magic. Last season Gordon averaged 13 points and five rebounds per game in 80 games played. Entering his fourth season, expect more acrobatic maneuvers above the rim!

TJ McConnell – Philadelphia 76ers

With all the craziness happening in the world, there is one player who can bring a smile to your face – TJ McConnell. The addition of No.1 NBA Draft Pick Markelle Fultz to the team, McConnell will have some competition at the point guard position. We can’t wait to see what excitement No.12 brings to the city of Philadelphia!

Enjoy the full live interview of McConnell during Media Day:

Rondae Hollis-Jefferson – Brooklyn Nets

No. 34 Rondae Hollis-Jefferson of the Brooklyn Nets likes to have fun, and it showed during media day. Besides having fun, Jefferson is looking to improve his stats from last season. He averaged almost nine points and six rebounds per game. Also, he is looking to do his part to improve the Nets overall performance. Last year they were one of the worst teams in the NBA with a record of 21-61.
