With seven freshmen and only one returning starter, UCLA coach Mick Cronin has plenty of teaching ahead this college basketball season.
Giving up about two feet as he stood next to the 7-foot-3 center, the coach and the freshman looked like reflections from funhouse mirrors. The bigger presence belonged to the coach. Mick Cronin paired his considerably smaller body with a booming voice to demonstrate proper positioning to Aday Mara. “We’re not standing there like a … Christmas tree!” Cronin roared, adding a not-so-festive word for emphasis.
“That’s what I want,” Cronin said. “You’re going to make eight out of 10 of those.” With Berke Buyuktuncel home sick and Bona cheering on his teammates during four-on-four drills while waiting to be fully cleared from the shoulder injury that sidelined him late last season, sixth-year senior center Kenneth Nwuba capably manned the middle. Showing off a muscular frame that reflects the best shape of his career, Nwuba unleashed a variety of impressive moves.
