Players like Dusan Ristic are a dying breed in the upper echelon of college basketball. Not just his classic back-to-the-basket game, but that he stuck around for four seasons and worked his way to the top—from a seldomly-used backup to a starter on a conference championship team.
The Serbian big man increased his scoring and rebounding totals every single year with the Arizona Wildcats, eventually averaging 12.2 points and 6.9 boards per game as a senior.
If there was anything that remained the same, it was that Ristic was a winner. He won three Pac-12 championships and graduated as the winningest player in program history, appearing in 115 victories, still the most all-time.
