Re: UA Basketball 2015-2016 Discussion Thread
Looking ahead: Arizona Wildcats
http://espn.go.com/blog/collegebasketba ... a-wildcatsWhen Kentucky marched out seven players for their final farewell, it was easy to see exactly what the Wildcats were losing.
Arizona’s news came more like a slow bleed, a news conference to announce Stanley Johnson was leaving after his freshman season, another to say Rondae Hollis-Jefferson was going as well, and a news release announcing Brandon Ashley’s decision to turn pro.
It didn’t necessarily ease the sting because the Wildcats, so tantalizingly and heartbreakingly close to the Final Four again in March, are essentially back to square one. With T.J. McConnell graduating, the only starter returning for coach Sean Miller is center Kaleb Tarczewski.
Cynics, of course, will see that word – elite – and snicker, quick to point out that Arizona hasn’t been to a Final Four since 2001, and that Miller is now 0-for-4 in Elite Eight games. They’d also be wise to remember that before Miller there was upheaval, chaos and two second-weekend berths in six years.
The reality is, the NCAA tournament is a wild card. The best team doesn’t always win the championship, let alone a game, and the best games often come down to matchups. Wisconsin was a lousy matchup for Arizona and the Badgers weren’t exactly a shabby team.
So the loss stings, and it stings even more now that the Wildcats have essentially said goodbye to a starting lineup that went 34-4 this past season.
But the real definition of elite, especially in this era of turnover, is what happens to a team when its roster is depleted by early defections and graduations. Does it crumble or reload?
Arizona is reloading.
What the immediate future holds: Let’s start with who is back for the Wildcats: Tarczewski likely could have been a first-round pick, but the 7-footer wanted to get his degree (he would be the first men's basketball player to graduate from the business school), attempt to become the school’s winningest player (he’s 18 wins away from that), and improve his game. Already one of the top defensive big men, he averaged 9.3 points and 5.2 rebounds on a team that had plenty of offensive options.
Not exactly a bad guy to build around.
And Miller has plenty of pieces with which to build.
Arizona’s reloading plan includes yet another top recruiting class, this one ranked fourth by ESPN, of four players. All are ranked in the ESPN 100, with three in the top 40: shooting guard Allonzo Trier (No. 18), small forward Ray Smith (No. 29), point guard Justin Simon (No. 37) and center Chance Comanche (No. 91). There’s also San Francisco graduate transfer Mark Tollefsen, who is at once a strong outside shooter and a highlight-reel dunker, plus junior college transfer Kadeem Allen and Boston College transfer Ryan Anderson.
Trier is, needless to say, the headliner. The Jordan Brand game MVP and McDonald’s All American can score from just about anywhere on the floor and is exactly what has been absent from the defensive-minded Wildcats for a few years – a bona fide, go-to scorer.
But he’s not the only guy who can help infuse some offense into an occasionally offensively-challenged team.
Tollefsen shot 38.9 percent from behind the arc at San Francisco. Before leaving Boston College, Anderson averaged 14.7 points per game.
As many coaches who have gone through the changeover would attest, though, the most critical players aren’t the new ones; they are the guys coming back. How players who were accustomed to playing bit parts react and adjust to bigger roles really is the difference, and Arizona has more than a few of them.
At point guard there’s Parker Jackson-Cartwright, McConnell’s understudy, who played sparingly but more than well, with a solid 2-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio.
Gabe York and Elliott Pitts will be every bit as critical on the wing as Trier. York had the memorable game against Ohio State, coming off the bench for 19 points and 5-of-9 shooting from behind the arc, to prove exactly what kind of weapon he can be. He needs to be that -- if not all of the time -- most of the time this season for the Wildcats.
Tarczewski is the sure thing in the middle and he’ll be assisted by Dusan Ristic, another 7-footer coming off a good freshman campaign. The tag team, in fact, should be so strong that Comanche might have to wait his turn.
In all, the way it lays out makes for a team that is young, but bolstered by enough experience and so much talent that it’s hard to imagine Arizona not being the pick to win the Pac-12.

Re: UA Basketball 2015-2016 Discussion Thread
Here's a real fun question that's eating at me a bit. Miller has brought together a group of players who are more renowned for their offense than they are their defense. So does Miller play to this team's strength and conjures his primary lineups based on the best offensive players or does he try to fit a square peg into a round hole and play his best defensive players and try to get the best offense out of them? This definitely seems like a crossroads year for Miller as a head man. Adapt to his group's strength or force them to play Miller ball?

I can't see Miller switching up his philosophy when it's produced so much success. These guys will grow into a good defensive team, maybe not as good as we've seen the past two seasons but still good.ChooChooCat wrote:Here's a real fun question that's eating at me a bit.

Re: UA Basketball 2015-2016 Discussion Thread
We beat Cal by nine games in the standings, their stats were (in the nation) PPG 200th, Rebounds 111th, Assists 183rd, FG % 143rd, coached by Cuonzo Martin but they're going to add two freshmen to that team and basically become (at least, generally) a fringe top ten in the country team to win the PAC title.Main Event wrote:I think Cal flops
I agree with you ME that there's lots of potential downside to that story, lots of possibility for a "flop" but the worst part will be, after they go like 12-6 in a fairly crappy PAC, people will say "Well you have to understand, there wasn't really much returning talent on this Cal team, that their statistics for last year (see quoted above) were very bad and they did make some good strides, but..."
And people like me (and probably you) will be sitting here shaking our heads at their post season analysis.

Re: UA Basketball 2015-2016 Discussion Thread
I think it'll depend on just how good Rabb and Brown can become by March. All that upside and potential can end up meaning very little when you only play one season of college ball. There's enormous pressure on both of them to make an immediate impact. It's like we've seen Okafor, Gordon, Shabazz, Noel, Oubre, and so many others recently...some are college-ready, some aren't.SCCats wrote:We beat Cal by nine games in the standings, their stats were (in the nation) PPG 200th, Rebounds 111th, Assists 183rd, FG % 143rd, coached by Cuonzo Martin but they're going to add two freshmen to that team and basically become (at least, generally) a fringe top ten in the country team to win the PAC title.Main Event wrote:I think Cal flops

Re: UA Basketball 2015-2016 Discussion Thread
No, it's adding two very good freshmen along to a roster with 3 returning players who averaged double figures in scoring along with a highly rated transfer becoming eligible (Domingo). I mean if we had that at Arizona many here would be saying we have a final four team. Honestly the only question mark I have about that team is coaching and even with poor coaching teams with that much talent find ways to win more often than not during the season. Unless of course that team is UNLV....ASUHATER! wrote:Cal will be good but does just adding two good freshmen make them one of the most improved and best teams in the nation? I don't know.
Honestly if someone I respected were coaching Cal I'd have them as the no brainer #1 team in the conference next year, but since they don't, I'll go for another team that returns many major contributors along with adding a very good grad transfer point guard along with a scorer to replace Joe Young in Oregon. I think Arizona fans should get used to the thought of not winning this conference. Plenty of question marks on next year's team that for some reason people feel are answers and I don't get it truthfully.

Re: UA Basketball 2015-2016 Discussion Thread
I'm stuck on "renowned." Kaleb thrives on defense. Justin Simon would appear to have that rep. Not sure anyone other than Rondae was renowned for defense out of high school from last year's team.ChooChooCat wrote:Here's a real fun question that's eating at me a bit.

Guys like him and Nick and Aaron became renowned.
For most of these guys, it's on them to learn how to properly D-up and then have the fortitude to follow through. Otherwise, there's the bench. It's too soon for them to be a "square peg."
If, for instance, Trier thinks he can slide by on offense alone, York and others will gobble those minutes. I would imagine Ryan Anderson is on board with defending hard after watching from the bench and being in practices. Tollefsen was often sicced on the other team's best scorer. When you see a Stanley Johnson or Ristic shown the bench for not defending properly, it says something about the coach you're about to play for.
We don't have enough offensive firepower to simply outscore elite teams. Plus, I doubt Miller would recruit any player who believes he's already fully formed and can't adapt.
Right where I want to be.

Re: UA Basketball 2015-2016 Discussion Thread
Has Miller ever had this much backcourt depth?
Re: UA Basketball 2015-2016 Discussion Thread
Well, after Rondae moved back into the starting lineup, last year. Stanley technically went from the 3 to the 2 if you want to break down positions in a traditional sense even though most considered him a 3 and that probably could be considered a 3 forward lineup. If by depth you mean a deeper bench (and that only), then yea, probably will have 4 good to serviceable backcourt options off the bench as opposed to 3 last year.
G- TJ
G - Stanley
Bench- York, Pitts, PJC, Kadeem (redshirt but still depth that just wasn't needed at the time)
Not sure of the lineup for 15-16, assuming Trier starts

Re: UA Basketball 2015-2016 Discussion Thread
I don't think we live in an universe where Gabe York would be happy coming off the bench as a senior nor do we live in a world where Trier would be happy with it as well, although I lean more to Miller being able to sell the latter on doing so than the former at this point in their careers. I would not be surprised one bit if both start.
Re: UA Basketball 2015-2016 Discussion Thread
Guess we will see. York has a two-year history of starting and in that history, he also spent more than half those seasons starting on the bench. I don't see the need for CSM to sell it to either though and in the grand scheme of things, it probably won't even matter, both will get significant minutes. We may even see a 3-guard starting lineup, who knows.
Re: UA Basketball 2015-2016 Discussion Thread
How I see it (without having seen Simon, Smith).
PJC
York
??
Anderson
Tarcewski
Trier had some struggles overall, not just on defense. Can't just outmuscle people on drives to the rim, like he did in H.S., so he couldn't finish as well. His challenge will be to keep the ball moving and not let it stick in his hands. SJ had the same challenge. Mark Lyons never overcame that.
That fifth starter? Could be Trier if we go small. Or Smith if we go traditional. The sleeper, to me, is Tollefsen. He could steal some of those wing minutes if the young 'uns struggle to adapt. (Along with playing the 4).
As the freshmen get comfortable, the minutes will change. But i expect the four I've listed to lead the team in minutes played. But I don't think any of them will be among league leaders in that category.
We have a lot of very good players, but possibly no great players. I don't see a POY on that roster, but would love to be surprised (Anderson?). So, they better have the mindset that stops are paramount to success.

I agree on your starters except I could see Allen somewhere in the starting lineup and if he doesn't end up in the starting lineup I could see him getting a lot of minutes off the bench.

I could see Smith being great...he was talked about as a oad until his injury and he received high praise from Miller. Big question mark for him though since he is coming off of an acl (mcl?) injury.
I think I am most excited to see the progress of PJC and how Tollefsen and Anderson fit into the team.
I agree that we have a lot of good players. Platoon! I kid, but it will be interesting to see if Miller expands his core group of players now that the skill level seems to be more even.

Yes. Agree with this line of thinking. I'm guessing that Kadeem Allen is a huge wild card for the Wildcats.

Re: UA Basketball 2015-2016 Discussion Thread
I agree on Tollefsen being a sleeper. Im excited to see him in action. If he started w Anderson and Tarc, we would be massive. From only reading things and not seeing these guys, he may be the best shooter we have at the 3 as well. I just see these incoming freshmen as all being raw, and probably none of them being an immediate high impact guy like AG or Stanley. I had super high expectations for Trier, and it's not really fair to just judge him on an international competition tournament, but I have kind of curbed those expectations now.gumby wrote:

Re: UA Basketball 2015-2016 Discussion Thread
Tollefson is a better 3 point shooter playing against Div I talent than Kadeem Allen is playing against JC teams.
Can't have a 2G who can't hit an open 3. Defenses will obviously just pack the paint like they did when McConnell was open.
Going to be York starting at 2G just to free up some lanes.
But thinking about it, TJ was a very good 3 point shooter at Duquesne, 40% and 43% his 2 years. It wasn't until he arrived at Arizona did he have to deal with upper Div I defenses, and never did regain his stroke.
Tollefson being a big maybe so won't have quite an adjustment, but it will still be tougher.
Sure hope Allen was a gym rat. Being a redshirt I don't imagine he scrimmaged all that much. Kadeem was 460th in 3 point percentage at Hutchinson.

Re: UA Basketball 2015-2016 Discussion Thread
Great post Merkin. Remember how inexplicably T.J.'s FT percentage dropped off too, though?
Reminds me of Craig McMillan going from 80+ % at the line as a junior to the mid-60s, including a couple of scary front-end misses, in the first Final Four season.
Even York showed some slippage at the line late last season. I don't get it.
Is it the intensity of competition? Their motor's running too high? It's like pure shooters almost have to have a different mentality to stay that way in D-1.

Given where Trier's at defensively and where Smith's at conditioning-wise, it'll either be Allen or Tollefsen at that 3 spot to start the season.
