Arizona Basketball: Projected starting lineup and depth chart for 2023-24 season
Point Guard
Starter – Jaden Bradley (27 mpg)
Jaden Bradley is the first name out of the transfer portal for the Arizona Wildcats that’ll look to turn things around at the point guard spot. Kerr Kriisa’s departure certainly stings, given he led the team with 5.1 apg in 2022-23, but the prospects of Bradley producing the same if not more assists exist. Bradley dished out 3.1 apg in his debut season of college basketball with the Crimson Tide in 2022-23. He started in just 22 of his 37 appearances. Bradley finished 10th in the SEC in assists (114) while also putting up 6.4 ppg and 2.6 rpg on 31.8 percent shooting from 3-point land.
Bradley dropped a career-high 18 points on 6-of-12 shooting against Gonzaga back on Dec. 17. He’ll be a featured lead guard that should share the point-guard duties with Caleb Love this season.
Bench – Kylan Boswell (13 mpg)
Kylan Boswell returns to the Wildcats’ backcourt looking to grow in his reserve role. The 6-foot-2 freshman averaged 15.2 minutes of action this past season but look for that number to grow at both guard spots.
Boswell, after all, has his own experience in the Pac-12 under his belt. He appeared in 35 contests this past season, averaging 4.6 ppg, 1.6 rpg, and 1.6 apg on 39 percent shooting from deep and 45 percent shooting from the field.
