Gonzaga Bulldogs

Considering that the Bulldogs were a finalist for Nembhard in the first go-around, there’s no question that they’ll be involved once again. With five-star point guard Jalen Suggs likely around for just one season, along with grad transfer Aaron Cook, this team could use a true ball-handler for the 2021-22 campaign.

As far as systems go, Gonzaga represents one of the faster paces in all of NCAA Basketball. They’ve led the country in ppg for the past two seasons, scoring nearly 90 ppg. It’s also a fairly balanced offense but with many players putting up double-figure numbers. And with this team reaching another level in recruiting overall, Nembhard can make a deep run in the NCAA Tournament to help his draft stock even more.

Kansas Jayhawks

Another program used to both NCAA Tournament appearances and quality point guards, Kansas is hoping that incoming five-star guard Bryce Thompson can have a huge freshman season. If that happens, he’ll go pro and leave the team needing a replacement. Nembhard would have no issue with Coach Bill Self’s system and would be surrounded by top-tier talent.

While there “could” be a need for another guard, Thompson may be someone who comes back for another year, such as what Devon Dotson did last offseason. That would make it not as smooth a replacement scenario as other teams on this list who “definitely” need a starting point guard. Add that with the NCAA cloud over the program’s head and this could be a situation Nembhard isn’t all too interested in.
