Re: Allonzo Trier

I could make the argument that Miller has several dudes that have been in the NBA that nobody, including posters here, thought was possible. This seems more valuable in recruiting to me. My original comment was just related to Spiff saying we could claim we've had lottery picks recently. Basically,...

If it helps recruiting, great. If Trier & Ayton don't get an NBA opportunity, it tells me Arizona overachieved this season.

PJC wasn't that disappointing but just very physically limited. IMO, it would be more disappointing if he had greater ability and didn't play to it. As others have said, the most disappointing thing was that Miller didn't recruit someone better to be the starter.
