Good for Jeff. He would have gotten a better offer if he could ever finish a drive, but you can't complain about his ability to get to the FT line!
I know a highlight reel doesn't tell you anything, but since most of us here already subscribe to espn+ for obvious reasons, I would highly recommend checking out the Tauranga Whai games in the NZBL. Hopoi and crew are on ESPN3 regularly and its a good showing of what to expect from the kid

If you wouldn't mind giving us a heads up on the next game that would be much appreciated. If you have already seen him play, what can we expect from this kid!?

Carter tends to post when the Whai will be on tv on his twitter accounts. You can actually go to the replays on espn and find the games as the NZBL tipoffs arent kind to American bed times(3 am). I am actually quite surprised by how similarly the NZBL teams play compared to the MVC. I wouldn't say its comparable in terms of talent level, but the playstyles are very MVCesque. Hopoi himself is quite the defensive threat in the NZBL and is regularly viewed by casters as a "point of emphasis" for opposing teams. VU also gets regular shout outs FWIW.
I am also fairly certain that ESPN will save broadcasts up to a certain date so if you have some free time at work I would recommend pulling up a Whai cast and getting an opinion for yourselves
The sports castors also regularly interact with various chat methods. The one they have the most interactions with is the TikTok chat. So if you are willing/able to create a tik tok account, the announcer may very well read and respond to your chat during a media break.
The Whai played today (May 24) vs Wellington and the game is on ESPN+ do a search for New Zealand National Basketball League and games will suddenly appear.
