COLLEGE
Glen Rice Jr. played his NCAA career at Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets men's basketball from 2009–10 through 2011–12, appearing across three seasons and finishing with three-year career averages of 9.9 points and 4.8 rebounds per game before being dismissed from the program in March 2012.
As a freshman in 2009–10, Rice worked his way from an early bench role into the starting group late in the year, played in all but one game, and started Georgia Tech’s final 11 contests while logging more than 18 minutes per game overall and more than 20 minutes per game in ACC play.
That freshman season included a statement night on March 2, 2010 at Clemson when he produced season highs of 17 points, eight rebounds and four assists, and he also earned ACC All-Academic Team honours on March 3, 2010.
In the 2010 NCAA Tournament second round against Ohio State on March 21, 2010, Rice scored 10 points in 25 minutes as Georgia Tech’s ACC tournament championship run carried into March Madness.
As a sophomore in 2010–11, Rice became a major scorer and rebounder for the Yellow Jackets, averaging 13.0 points and 6.7 rebounds per game, and he had multiple 20-point performances while starting 23 games that season.
Entering 2011–12 as Georgia Tech’s leading returning scorer, Rice was suspended for the first three games of the season for a violation of team rules, returned to the rotation, and later served another suspension that caused him to miss the final six games of the season.
On March 13, 2012, Georgia Tech dismissed Rice from the program, closing his college career after three seasons in Atlanta.

To cut through the noise, we have to look beyond raw percentages. By combining historical spreadsheet data…

Who exactly is this team built around now? Since 2010, that answer was simple. It was Patty Mills’ team. Mills has been the primary scorer for the Boomers for nearly two decades and few Australian victories have been recorded without a major scoring performance from Patty.

NBL players who have played in the NBA
