Roster Outlook
Arizona’s men’s basketball program is poised for a busy offseason, with plans to bring in three or four new players while relying on a core group that returns intact.
Player Development
Kerr Kriisa is expected to average around fifteen points per game and improve his shooting percentages, a benchmark the coaching staff believes will keep the offense firing.
Pelle Larsson needs to develop his dribbling skills to become a more effective perimeter threat, adding depth to the backcourt.
Dalen Terry, already recognized for his elite defense and rebounding, must add scoring to his repertoire to become a more complete weapon.
Azuolas Tubelis is being positioned as a conference player‑of‑the‑year candidate, a role that could help sustain Arizona’s top‑ranked status.
Other returning members such as Adama Bal, Oumar Ballo, Dylan Anderson and Filip Borovicanin bring a mix of potential and experience, with Bal seen as a wild card and Ballo tasked with moderating the game’s pace.
Coaching Reinforcements
The staff is also expected to add quality roster pieces, including a center from overseas, to shore up depth and competitiveness.
Bennedict Mathurin, Christian Koloko, Evan Mobley, Andre Iguoudala, Tommy Lloyd and Mike Luke are among the names that will continue to shape the squad’s dynamics, even as younger prospects like Dylan Anderson await their opportunity.
With these moves, Arizona hopes to remain in the conversation for the 2023 Pac‑12 championship and preserve its elite standing in the national landscape.
