UConn's Alex Karaban still torn on “win-win” decision of staying in ⁦NBA Draft⁩ or aiming for three-peat. But he has a good idea of when he’ll decide.

UConn fans will be happy to hear that Karaban, Spencer recently went out to dinner with Adama Sanogo at Nobu sushi in Chicago.

And maybe not as happy to hear that the two have had great time getting to know ex-foes like Scheierman, Kolek, Moore, Edey and others at agency.

Donovan Clingan’s teams have gone 103-11 past 4 seasons, ending each with title. It’ll be different next year in @nba.

'It's hard to go 37-3 and realize next step isn't going to be that easy. I understand I'm going to lose some games. I'm OK with that.”

Donovan Clingan: 'A lot of people said I did well shooting the 3-ball (Monday). I know I can shoot better. I was definitely not happy with the way I performed, but obviously I have more time to improve myself and show I can shoot the ball at a high level.'

Castle has also made it quite clear he sees himself as a PG in NBA.

'I feel like my true position is a point guard. I feel like the past couple of months, I had to sacrifice for the better of our team. It worked out for us, so it's not anything to harp on or be bitter about.'

Stephon Castle: 'I have a lot of aspirations, defensively, in the league. I think I'll be shooting for, hopefully, first-team all-defense the next couple of years, and just try to expand on that and see how far I can take it.'
