Alex Karaban joins the Connecticut Scoreboard Podcast to talk about everything that’s happened since the end of the season, including his experience at the NBA Draft Combine, the pre-draft process, and the next steps in his basketball journey. Alex discusses how this year’s combine felt different compared to 2024, improving his vertical leap by 5.5 inches, his favorite and least favorite drills, team workouts, and whether he pays attention to mock drafts. He also shares what he wants NBA teams to know most about him as he prepares for the draft.

We also dive into the outlook for UConn Huskies basketball next season, including the roster coming together, the returns of Silas Demary Jr. and Braylon Mullins, thoughts on Solo’s wrist injury, and highly regarded transfer Nik Khamenia. Beyond basketball, Alex talks about participating in a Make-A-Wish event at Great Wolf Lodge, watching Steph Castle in the NBA Playoffs, and some of his favorite things about spending time in Chicago — including where he stands on deep dish pizza.
