Because, well, only eight of them can play.
“They play every game,” head coach Sean Miller said. “(Players) eight, seven, and six, if they don’t start, they’re incredibly valuable.”
Miller is still trying to maximize Keanu Pinder’s value, though. The 6-foot-9 forward has seen his minutes fluctuate since the start of Pac-12 play. The junior college transfer has played as many as 18 minutes in a conference game, but also as few as five.
He is averaging 15.8 minutes per game, but only 11 per contest in Pac-12 play.
“I have to do a better job of really locking him into the role that we want him to have,” Miller said.
