Big News in UCLA Basketball’s First Media Availability
6’8” Chris Smith is the backup point guard The first media availability was more interesting than almost any of these I have watched.

The big news is the big point guard. The backup point guard is indeed 6’8/9” Chris Smith. He has been running the second unit. Wow. I...
