JJ Mandaquit commits to AZ

[arxpert]

It is not surprising to me how many are seemingly underwhelmed by JJ The Man when they are all so far up Noah Fifita's mediocre ass. I believe JJ will be good for Arizona. I think he will be loyal to Lloyd too.

Be very happy that Tommy is doing his best to assemble as many of his U19 Avengers as he can. If Daniel Jacobsen was in the Portal I bet he would be landing him too. That's not the only Avenger left either.

We will see what happens.

I am sure the whole starting "7" will test the draft waters at minimum, but maybe only 2 outright declare.

Again, if I am Koa Peat, I am not declaring. My family is wealthy. I am already rich enough to retire, I can come back to Arizona for 3-5 Million with the Boosters paying for any Injuries/Career Ender policies up to ~35-50 Million which would represent basically a #1 Overall Pick Contract + Extra hot sauce so that there is absolutely nothing to fear in returning.

As opposed to being drafted 25th by the Nuggets and getting buried behind Jokic and Zeke Nnaji for 1.8 million a year which is pathetic money when NIL is present.

You may be right mvpreed2
After having jaden Bradley here for 3 years, I wish we had found a really good replacement, I just fill there will be drop off at pg. Next year

I hope i am wrong, I will say it seemed dixon made unc was better with dixon starting.

We will miss jadan Bradley ability to get to the basket, freethrow line.

I get your point, and it is logical.
I will encourage you to think of it as a 2/1 replacement.

Dixon is going to be the height/shooter that we lost in Dell'Orso, but I believe he will play PG.
Mandaquit is going to be the true PG to distribute and create open looks the way some of us wished Bradley did more.
I believe the shot diet for the PG spot will go down, but the assists will go up, and the open looks for the 2-4 will go WAY up!
