On Tuesday, the Arizona Wildcats landed UC Irvine graduate transfer Max Hazzard, a 5-foot-10 guard who averaged 12.5 points per game this past season.
Hazzard has one year of eligibility left and can play immediately. What does he bring to Wildcats? Let’s take a look.
Shooting. Lots of shooting.
Arizona’s 3-point shooting sunk to new lows in 2018-19, as the Wildcats shot just 33.6 percent from distance, easily their worst mark ever under Sean Miller. The previous low was 35.8 percent in 2009-10, Miller’s first season.
Arizona sorely needs to improve in that area, and Hazzard will help.
