Mark Few certainly has a type. While Braden Huff is the only freshman on the 2022-23 edition of the Gonzaga Bulldogs and has yet to play a competitive minute of basketball in a Gonzaga uniform, there’s a familiar quality about him.
Perhaps it’s the 6’10” frame with the skillset to protect the rim defensively while stretching the floor and playing on the perimeter on offense—the modern big man archetype that has been a staple of Gonzaga’s rosters for essentially the last two decades (before it was cool to have one). Or, perhaps, it’s the competitive but good-natured personality that is such a core trait of every Zag that it’s practically woven into the DNA of the program.
