Huge commitment!!!

With Holt, Holmes, Kharchenkhov and Aristode rotating at the three wing positions...the Cats would have a killer outside game. Hopefully James can also step in to contribute.

The athleticism of this team will be off the charts because most players/positions would be interchangeable. Arizona still needs a true PG and a grad transfer center.

For the next year huh?
Well, Holt is going to replace the void vacated by Burries.
According to me "Way Too Early" projections, PG is the only spot that needs to be filled for next season.

G: ??
G: Holt
F: Aristode
F: Kharchenkov
C: Krivas

One would hope Gueye/James are able to provide quality play off the bench.
I am REALLY hoping that James is going to step into that shooter-scorer role vacated by Dell'Orso.

One thing is for sure - we're going to be able to switch on everything defensively.

PNR gonna struggle against the Cats.

That's very optimistic to think that Krivas is returning. I seriously hope that's the case because Arizona will have a Sophomore Gueye to back him up.

At that point, you're correct that PG will be the only major void.

I assume that there will be a million grad transfers asking to run the show with this talented crew.

I'd like a top PG in the transfer portal, preferably with at least 2 years of eligibility left.

Yeah, I really do hope Aristode/Kharchenkov come back next season.
Having both of them on the floor as POA defenders with Krivas on the back end is going to be another terror for opposing wings to try to navigate.
This March/April is going to go a long way in Arizona fans seeing who will and will not return next season.
Just imagine how crazy this roster would have been with Bryant at that SF spot with both Aristode/Kharchenkov coming off of the bench with that energy and athleticism?
