Two Arizona Basketball guards are predicted to land with the Dallas Mavericks in next season's NBA draft.
As they play through the winter and into March madness, professional scouts will be watching multiple players in the program led by head coach Tommy Lloyd., multiple Wildcats were projected to be selected in the full two-round preview. Arizona, which is ranked 11th in the country in the preseason polls, had five players projected to go in the 59 picks next summer.
“KJ Lewis wasn't a reliable enough shooter last year to generate serious one-and-done interest. But the eye test saw a capable spot-up threat who can improve with more minutes. The idea of seeing him have more of an impact already started to take flight in the team’s blowout season-opening win against Canisius. Lewis put up 14 points and played 22 minutes, four more than his average last year. It will be interesting to see if he continues to receive meaningful playing time as the program heads into conference play at the turn of the new year to help boost his draft stock.
“Jaden Bradley shot well and combined for 38 points in Arizona's three NCAA tournament appearances last season,” writes Wasserman “The Wildcats lost Pelle Larsson to the Miami Heat and Kylan Boswell to Illinois, opening a door for Bradley to become a primary ball-handler and build on last year's stretches of scoring and shooting improvement. Rim pressure, pesky defense and a good looking pull-up should have already earned Bradley a spot on preseason draft lists.
