Labaron Philon Jr. - College Basketball News & Rumors | FOX Sports

Hot and cold start in 2024 Philon totaled 15 points (6-8 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one steal across 26 minutes during Saturday's 83-81 loss to Oregon.

Impact Philon's 2024 season has been something, namely because there's no telling just how much or how little he'll impact the game night in and night out. The guard has scored as many as 18 points but also as few as one; naturally, that season-high in points came in the one game he didn't start. His minutes have also fluctuated from as many as 32 to as few as 12. Alabama head coach Nate Oats is still clearly tinkering with his exact rotations, but regardless, Philon figures to be a crucial piece of the puzzle in Tuscaloosa.
