For the next eight weeks or so, the Arizona Wildcats will have to make do without their only pure-point guard in Parker Jackson-Cartwright, who is sidelined with a high-ankle sprain.
Jackson-Cartwright was leading the team in assists, and had a stellar assist-to-turnover ratio (3.7).
Tasked with filling his void are Kadeem Allen and Kobi Simmons, with Allen doing most of the distributing.
The Wildcats are 1-1 since losing Jackson-Cartwright, with a loss to No. 8 Gonzaga and a win versus UC Irvine.
In that two-game span, Allen — who has moved from the two-guard position to the point — is averaging 11 points and 4.
