If you want to rank the Arizona Wildcats’ players by their importance, Jordan Brown should be at, or near, the top.
After sitting out the 2019-20 season due to NCAA transfer rules, the former Nevada forward is expected to have a prominent role for the Wildcats after they lost Zeke Nnaji to the NBA and Chase Jeter and Stone Gettings to graduation. Brown will almost assuredly be a starter and probably be the team’s go-to option in the low post.
Sure, Arizona has other frontcourt options like energy man Ira Lee, block machine Christian Koloko and skilled French freshman Daniel Batcho, but none have the accolades of Brown, who was a five-star recruit, McDonald’s All-American and member of USA Basketball coming out of Prolific Prep in 2018.
