“People would always say ‘Conroy! You’re going to be a great coach one day!’”
Will Conroy wasn’t trying to hear all that. The former Washington point guard wanted to hear more about how he was going to be a great NBA player. But as Conroy quipped, “reality sets in quick.” He went undrafted and spent two years in what’s now the NBA G-League before getting to the NBA, playing 14 games for three teams in the 2006-07 season.
Conroy bounced around Asia and Europe before returning to America and playing nine more NBA games over the course of two seasons.
