Re: Sean Miller

Here's my opinion on Miller's style. As a former player (not college level certainly), there are types of players who respond well to a more boisterous coaching style. There are other types of players who completely shrivel up under that same style of coaching. I'm not trying to condemn either style...

Re: Lauri Markkanen

I agree. This class is stacked from a PG perspective. Ball, Fultz, and Smith Jr. are all studs. Fox and Monk are intriguing. Without a great shot, I'm not sure how well Fox will integrate into the NBA right off the bat (see, Kris Dunn). That isn't to say that he won't have an NBA future, just that i...

Re: 2016-2017 Arizona Basketball

There's a lot of justified talk about playing small next year due to the depth of our backcourt, but I've been wondering about a lineup something like this: PG: Simmons, 6-5 SG: Ferguson, 6-7 SF: Smith, 6-8 PF: Markkanen, 6-11 C: Ristic, 7-0 I mean, this may not be our best roster, and you could ar...
