Sagaba Konate’s facial expression and demeanor doesn’t change when the topic turns to him shooting 3-pointers.
“I’ve put in a lot of work to extend out on my shooting,” said the 6-foot-8, 250-pounder who led the Big 12 with 116 blocks last season.
OK, but seriously, 3-point range?
“On defense, I’ve been working a lot in practice on guarding the guards,” Konate said. “Offensively, I have a lot of faith in my jump shot, even on threes.”
It is an area to his game Konate knows he needs to develop if he is going to have a shot at a career in the NBA.
