Lower Mid-majors Previews with Southern Miss’ Austin Crowley & a new NBA Notebook — HPP S3-E09

Hoops Prospects Podcast (HPP)

Jake and Rich preview the “best-of-the rest” mid-majors, teams that should be dancing in March. Southern Miss wing Austin Crowley, a first-team All-Sun Belt selection last season, joins the show. Austin averaged 16.0 points, 4.1 rebounds, 2.6 assists, and 1.9 steals per game, while shooting 46% from the floor, 36% from deep, and 75% from the FT line. He ranked in the top five of the Sun Belt for PPG, SPG, and EFG%, and he ranked in the top 10 of the conference for win shares and plus-minus. Also, Cam and Rich open another edition of the NBA Notebook, focusing on the trade of Jrue Holiday to the Boston Celtics.
