Yeah, I agree. It could be a PG or a Wing really. We just need the guy on a team full of solid to great role players. It would make a world of difference. Suddenly, Santi is back to being a 2nd or 3rd option. ZZ can be the pest on defense. Phillips could be a 2 or 3 option. It would raise our ceiling a ton.With our massive offensive stagnation issues, we need anyone who' has proven they can penetrate/shoot the three/make free throws/distribute/handle the ball vs pressure. Right now, ZZ fills 4 of those 5, if, and pretty big if, he's healthy all season. That's not easy when he's coming off an injury and had games this year where he's playing almost every minute. Everyone else on the roster are either complete unknowns or do 2/5 of those things, 3/5 if they happen to be having a good night.
According to the experts he is an Oregon lean, and in my opinion it’ll all depend on if he prefers being closer to home or not. If he doesn’t and all things are equal I think we win out. I just think we have more to offer than Oregon does.
