Disappointing overall that it's come to this, but "whoever wants to show up and put on the jersey is welcome" at this point.

What parts of his game disappoint you? You seem to know the player.

Or is your disappointment soley based on his place of birth? Which of course would be incredibly stupid.

Everything about your condescending comment forces me to just "bro, shut up". You're not getting a dignified answer out of me for acting the fool.

So I guess it was the latter. Hahaha.

One can always count on you.

Yup. I'd absolutely take a 6'8" NBA prospect that can hit 40% from beyond the arc.

Only someone who thinks in your train of thought is that type of person. So I am considering the source, you, a disgrace, to have those type of thoughts in the first place. When you are ready to speak about sports on a sports forum, let me know.

A replacement for zu maybe?

Not sure if he can play the 3 or not.

I would go out on a limb and say he would probably be playing SF.
It seems as if Boravacinin and Murauskas are clones, except one is a better shooter.
The problem I am having is neither seem to be strong enough to be ready to contribute in 2023.
Yes, I believe they both appear to be able to be ready in 2-3 years though, but that does not help Arizona's talent-lacking championship-aspiring roster as I type this.

Lloyd will figure it out, or he won't.
We will find out in due time..

Tubelis should be paid to return. It's not a knock to Paulius to prefer other options that are ready to compete at the level we need in order to stay kings of the Soft-12

I agree we need him back, It's just sad that we're in a time that we have to pay kids to come back.. There's loyalty in college basketball anymore, when kids would come back because they wanna bring a Natty to their school.. Name image and likeness is one thing, that makes total sense, but "Boosters" just pull out the checkbooks and pay the kids in the high six figs to play now..smh

Not sure if he is 3 or 4 or  both.
I hope he can play both positions.

I am curious  why Lloyd  is recruiting  so many bigs.

He needs to play an develop  henri an Dylan, before  one of them hits the portal.

Since  there is the rumor  he may bring in 2 international  bigs.

Anything to keep trying to do Moon Ball / Lob Ball and not have to actually utilize X's and O's.

Lobs are considered X's and O's; Bill Self has a made a nice living with them for the past 20 seasons.  Arizona was 3rd in the entire NCAA for scoring average in each of the past two seasons.  That's how you coach offense.

Until you run into the Big Dance I guess... Then those X's and O's as you put it go out the door as a 1 dimensional strategy easy to game plan for.

Arxpert,
When will you address your mental issues?
