UCLA Basketball Presser: The Chris Smith Show

Sometimes I wonder if the players and coaches read Bruins Nation. I don’t wonder about the reporters. They definitely do. The theme of this week’s press conference was Chris Smith and, seemingly, a follow up to the comments in this post.

For Coach Cronin it was dealing with questions on whether Chris Smith is ready and/or should go pro. Cronin is always relatively candid, but on this question he danced between Smith is playing well and still has a ways to go. He praised Smith’s “humility” which makes him “coachable.”

He also pointed out the Jekyl and Hyde nature of Utah, this week’s Pac-12 road trip.
