Arizona men's basketball reportedly got a commitment from Spanish point guard Conrad Martinez on Thursday; here's how the Wildcats 2023-24 roster shapes up with Martinez and other newcomers in the fold.
Bruce Pascoe If Spanish point guard Conrad Martinez brings some mystery to the Arizona Wildcats next season, at least some other things are now clearer.
The FIBA U17 World Cup, that is. In that event, Martinez led the home-country team to a silver medal while averaging 9.1 points, 3.9 assists and 2.0 rebounds and shooting 23.5% from 3-point range. This past season, according to Eurobasket, Martinez averaged 16.6 points while shooting 35.7% from 3-point range in the Adidas Next Generation Tournament. Over Spain's EBA season, he averaged 17.0 points over 22 games while playing for the Juventut youth club outside of Barcelona.
Arizona has also contacted another North Carolina transfer, former Marana High School standout D’Marco Dunn, though Martinez’s arrival might threaten interest on both sides. SDSU transfer Keshad Johnson could play either forward spot, while UA's big post players include senior Oumar Ballo, sophomores Henri Veesaar and Dylan Anderson and Lithuanian freshman 7-footer Motiejus Krivas.When the Independent Accountability Resolution Process handed Arizona sanctions from its years-old NCAA infractions case last December, one of them was that the program had to lose a scholarship for either the 2022-23 or 2023-24 seasons.
In any case, actions are speaking louder than words. The Wildcats are behaving as if they have 13 scholarships to offer, meaning the IARP sanctions will have no effect on the 2023-24 team.
