Arizona has contacted UC Irvine G Max Hazzard as possible transfer

[UAlum]

Miller's system is always defense first and guys who have defensive length and versatility will see the court together, but fun to dream about fun rotations.

Shooting lineup:
Mannion
Hazzard
Green/Armstrong
Gettings
Nnaji

Defensive length:
Mannion
Green
Armstrong
Lee
Jeter/Koloko

4-Guard:
Mannion
Williams
Green
Armstrong
Jeter

(Lol I am realizing all my favorite lineups are just Mannion/Green/Armstrong and then toss in 2 others)

No love for Doutrive in any of your lineups UAlum?

Either way, I believe these freshmen are going to have more weight on their shoulders than the 2012 recruiting class.
To some, they are going to be expected to come in and get us back on top and deep into the PAC-12 & NCAA tournament next season.
I'm not sure I'm aboard yet, but the potential is there..

Spot on man. No doubt the talent is there for this team to compete for a Pac 12 Championship and potentially a Final 4 bid. But this is going to be a very young team with a lot of new faces entering the program and we still have some glaring question marks (interior/ perimeter shooting). But as usual the hype train is at full steam let's just hope our freshmen can handle it.

I think the perimeter shooting will be by committee.
BW was decent, but adding NM/TA I believe will be respectable shooters, but we do lack that sub 40% sniper that most of our elite teams needed and/or had (York/McConnell/PJC/Markkanen).

If Miller continues this offense from last season, I'm going to hope the dribble-drive is effective enough to continue success on offense.
Now it comes to our Achilles heel, the zone offense, which Miller has never been able to crack with two good big (Ristic/Markkanen & Ristic/Ayton).

Lol to be honest I just spaced Doutrive when writing that up quick. I think he could fit in any of those lineups as a do it all kinda guy, but at this point shooting and defense are particularly strengths (I know he shot 45% from 3 on a very limited sample)

Righteous.
I'm not sure who is more slept on next season, Doutrive or Koloko?
Both appear to be glue guys but their skill set is going to be so important for us that they could easily be the reason a play is made that puts us over the top.

I am still baffled by the need for Hazzard unless the kid wants to be on a team that should be able to make a run. Counting on him to be a major contributor, or even solid contributor, in game isn't saying much for the rest of our guards like Barcello and Doutrive whom would be filling the 5-10 minute roles. We needed a Justing Coleman last year. Unless Williams has knee issues or we are about to lose Doutrive or Barcello, or Brown isn't an option, I hope we pass on this.

I think he only comes here if he wants to be a part of a team capable of making a deep run, otherwise there are plenty of other schools that can offer more playing time. And Williams is always going to have knee issues so having an experienced back up pg seems like a need. Williams missed his entire junior season of high school after having surgery to correct osteochondritis dissecans, a joint condition in which bone underneath the cartilage of a joint dies due to lack of blood flow. He missed several games last year due to the same condition and it sounds like something that can't be treated or is going to go away.

Hazzard just committed - I'm excited to see what he brings to the team. Chose us over Gonzaga and some other good programs.
