The LA Times has posted a profile of freshman guard James Dunleavy, who joined the basketball team as a walk-on this fall. The son of former NBA player and Los Angeles Clippers coach Mike Dunleavy, the younger Dunleavy will redshirt this season, in order to build up additional strength and grow his skills. Despite the fact that he’s a walk-on (which is mainly due to the fact that he did not participate in athletics during his senior year of high school), both Dunleavy and his coach, Tim Floyd, expect him to eventually contribute to the team–especially with his outside shooting skills, which are already strong.

The Times also reveals why half of the luxury suites at the Galen Center have yet to be constructed: the school ran out of money for the project.
