The Arizona Wildcats plan to increase Brandon Williams’ workload against the Oregon schools this week, head coach Sean Miller said Monday on his weekly radio show.
The Wildcats feel comfortable doing so because the freshman guard (knee) returned from a six-game absence Sunday against Stanford and felt “really good” after playing 18 minutes off the bench.
“It was something that he was able to handle easily and that gives us the green light to continue to move forward the rest of this week,” Miller said.
Miller hopes Williams can play 20 to 24 minutes against the Oregon State Beavers on Thursday, moving him closer to his season average of 29.
