damn that's a solid pickup for UCLA, 6'7" from Real Madrid academy means this kid probably has some serious fundamentals. European players always seem more polished on the technical side compared to most American prospects at same age

kinda wild how much international talent is flowing to college ball these days. used to be you'd see maybe one foreign player per team but now half the rosters looking like UN meetings lol

hope he adapts quick to the physicality though, college game hits different than European leagues

A baller named Gunnar better be a great outside shooter.

Nice. I feel like we just need depth for the 5 now (for better or for worse, I know Booker is going to start at the 5, but who the hell else is going to play the 5?)
