Word on the street is that Kobi Simmons is gone, Trier is likely to stay, and there is actually a slim chance Markannen returns for another year of school, which would be crazy. I can't imagine anything but a preseason #1 if we get the chance to team Lauri and Ayton together, so I'm going to spend a lot of time praying over the next few weeks
Well first, there's no way Lee would start, or even get significant minutes next year. He's not ready or needed. Denny will only be offered a scholarship if he is the 13th man, but would be dropped if Miller brought in two more recruits IMO. I also don't think Barcello will be a significant freshman contributor either, but certainly hope I'm wrong on that one. Yes, I think Trier staying will mean no Bowen.Just spitballin here, but if Trier stays do you think that fucks with us getting Bowen? I know Miller said he's not done with trying to get another guy for next year, but shit would get a little crowded.
If we have PJC, Trier, Alkins, Dusan, Comanche, Pinder, Denny, D. Smith, Ayton, Lee, Barcello, and Randolph, that's already 12 not counting Markkanen.
Crazy how that gives us 6 guards and 5 bigs with Denny as our only actual SF. So I guess we run 3-guard sets again next year for the most part if Bowen is out (if/because Trier stays).
Some variation of:
PJC/Barcello (?)
Trier/Randolph/Smith
Alkins/Denny
Lee/Comanche (or switched)/Pinder
Ayton/Dusan
Is this hypothetically what you're seeing as well?

I am hoping Dusan goes to Europe. I love the kid's heart but he will never be able to score enough points to make up for his play on the defensive end. I want Chance full time.Yeah I haven't seen too much of Lee but my expectations are low, that's why I thought that he starting could also be switched with Comanche. I guess I can't see both Dusan and Ayton starting but I guess if it's better than any other forward we have, maybe?
And I'm not suggesting that the depth chart would be his rotation. I expect him to trim it down to his usual 8 +/- depending on injuries and other personnel issues. I don't see Denny or Smith making the rotation, and I think that Barcello and Pinder are at the end (I guess with Lee with what you mentioned).

Considering Romar's recruiting ties I think this would be awesome.
Lorenzo Romar rumored to be candidate for Arizona’s coaching staff
wow thats awesome!Apparently, this is all but a done deal. AZ posted the job on the 3rd, so they have to wait until the 13th to announce. But AZ and Romar are in agreement to move forward together.
I think this would drastically help our stagnant offenses under Miller, and add a little boost to recruiting, especially in the PNW.
I'll miss Pasternack and wish him the best, but I'm pretty excited about this hire!
wow thats awesome!
Kobi Simmons declares for draft and hires an agent. My guess is he's a late 2nd rounder or goes undrafted. Have fun in the D League.
It's a shame when kids get such terrible advice. Talent's there, but discipline and accountability are not. I wish him the best of luck, but he seemed to have given up as soon as Trier came back. Not sure if it was the pressure of having to compete against Trier for minutes, or the frustration of thinking he already had his spot secured, but he fell off.
Based on his drop in production, and if he wants to go, then he should definitely go. Sucks because while Trier and PJC were out, he really did as much as we could have asked on offense. With improvements on defense, he would have been a strong asset next year, etc.
