I caught up with Adama Bal to discuss his breakout junior season at Santa Clara. Named First Team All-WCC, he averaged 14.4 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 3.1 assists per game, sparking NBA intrigue with his unique offensive attack, characterized by long strides, nifty changes of speed, and polished touch around the rim with his 6-foot-11 wingspan.
