Arizona, Sean Miller go international to replace lost players

Associated Press

TUCSON – Arizona lost three star freshmen who turned pro and its top six scorers from last season.

Don’t expect a down year from the Wildcats.

Nico Mannion, Josh Green and Zeke Nnaji may be gone, but coach Sean Miller has restocked the roster with talented players, six from outside the United States.

“I love the international guys we have, they all come from basketball backgrounds,” Miller said. “This class will impact our program’s future in a big, big way.”

Arizona won 21 games last season and was in position to make the NCAA Tournament before it was canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic.
