After missing out on his services straight out of high school, the Zags had to wait for Florida Gators transfer Andrew Nembhard to pick Spokane the second time around. The short player preview for the 2020-21 season is simple: Andrew Nembhard will not play this year.
The longer answer is the ever juggling key to the roster puzzles. Not having Nembhard this year is not exactly a bad thing. The Zags are well stocked in the backcourt between Jalen Suggs and Joel Ayayi. Next year, with most likely both Suggs and Ayayi out of the picture, Nembhard will be ready to step in at point guard with a year of practicing the Gonzaga system under his belt.
