Wooooooooow. HUGE!!! Congrats Primo!!!
He went from undrafted to 12th overall!?! Cant write it better than that. I literally just turned on the draft thinking we were getting close to where he may be picked. Needless to say I've never been happier to be late lol RTR!

Wow! #12 at the tender age of 18. Congratulations, Josh! 2 years with Oats, 2 lottery picks - I reckon that should help recruiting...

True ... I'm thinking there's a good chance this trend continues next year. Good times for Bama basketball

I'm a little blown away, frankly. I didn't see that coming but man I'm so happy for him.

Once again, I've proved to myself I'm not good at projecting college players to the NBA.

Great for recruiting too, as others have said. Bama B-ball is just at another level right now!

If Primo ever was given the opportunity to play in the Olympics, which country would he play for? Assuming both the US and Canada wanted him.

Sorry just popped into my head.

Good question. I found this article and you can compete for a country you were not born in but I believe you have to have dual citizenship and a few other factors can weigh into it also. So I believe if Josh were to become a US cititzen also he could compete for either.

Olympians representing a country they weren't born in? It happens more often than you think.

At the 2018 Olympics, roughly 6 percent of the athletes, or 178 Olympians, are competing for a country they weren’t born in. Ahn Hyun-soo won four Olympic medals – three golds and a bronze – competing as a speed skater for South Korea in 2006.

Good stuff, I was going to say I remembered several NBA players doing the same, either they were initially born in or ethnic descendants of the country they played for. So saying that to say ... I wouldn't be at all surprised if Primo would play for Canada, I think if I remember correctly, it was his play with Team Canada during high school that drew a lot of attention his way.
