NCAA Basketball: Ranking the top 25 team backcourts for 2022-23 season

Although 1st round NBA Draft picks (Bennedict Mathurin and Dalen Terry) are gone, the Wildcats got a few latecomers to the roster to bolster their overall roster. The wildcard announcement was  Kylan Boswell, a five-star point guard prospect, reclassifying to play this upcoming season. It’s been a mixed bag of how big an impact he’ll have as a freshman but it helps solidify the backcourt behind Kerr Krissa.

The sophomore guard averaged 8.7 ppg and 4.7 apg but shot under 35% from the field last season. Krissa can at times be one of the best point guard in the country but also can really struggle and make it hard for them to win. His consistency will be key to Arizona competing for another regular-season title.

Another newcomer guard is Courtney Ramey, who comes over from Texas with 106 career starts and career 10 ppg average. The 6’2 guard is a good defender and capable off-guard that can shoot from deep. Cedric Henderson is a 6’6 guard from Campbell with a career average of 14.5 ppg and is also a solid shooter from deep.

Add returning guard Pelle Larsson (7.2 ppg in 20 mpg off the bench) and this is a good core of players on the perimeter. It’ll come down to how much Krissa improves next season but there won’t be any issues with depth for the Wildcats.
