Emptying the Notebook on another Aggie basketball open practice | Sports

Not too long ago I wrote a bit of a brain dump article with updates on Utah State men’s basketball after head coach Jerrod Calhoun held an open practice for the media to attend last month.

Here’s the next update following this second open practice. Calhoun said he’d give Wednesday’s practice a “C” grade, noting that on Tuesday the team had an amazing practice. “I thought last night’s practice was one of the best practices I’ve seen, whether it’s during the season or it was the summer,” Calhoun said. “We played two (scrimmages) last night at the end of practice that were incredible.

He’s hoping to use his summer league experience as a springboard for the role he wants to play with the Jazz in his second NBA season. “Obviously it’s different in summer league versus (the regular season),” Filipowski said, following the third and final summer league game for the Jazz. “I’m just trying to be myself out there right now. However that translates to the season, that’s how it’s going to be. I’m going to make the most of it in that way.” Filipowski appeared in 72 games in his rookie campaign with Utah, making 27 starts. He averaged 9.6 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 1.9 assists in 21.2 minutes per game. By season’s end, Filipowski was one of only
