Arizona freshman Aaron Gordon and junior Nick Johnson announced they are leaving for the NBA. Gordon, a 6’9” power forward and this year’s Pac 12 Freshman of the Year, is slated to go in the top eight according to Draft Express. Johnson, the Pac 12 Player of the Year, is projected to go in the second round.
With Kaleb Tarczewski and Rondae Hollis-Jefferson set to return for the Wildcats, two five-star recruits in Stanley Johnson and Craig Victor, Arizona should have no problem repeating their success from last season.
