Arizona basketball: Kadeem Allen expected to cut back on turnovers, Kobi Simmons is ‘pressing’

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.
