Washington overview

The Huskies may have the No. 1 pick in the 2017 NBA  Draft in guard Markelle Fultz, but they’re nowhere near an NCAA tournament team at this point. Much of the Huskies’ problems have to do with the early NBA departures of freshmen Dejounte Murray and Marquese Chriss last spring, while departed senior Andrew Andrews took leadership and clutch play with him. Washington’s normally frenetic pace is a little off this season as a result. Fultz is by far the Pac-12’s scoring leader (26.1 in conference games), while he’s also No. 2 in assists (6.0) and fifth in steals (1.6). Washington averages 80.9 points overall but has put up just 72.8 in conference play, shooting just 42.0 percent from the field. Their tempo is rated No. 8 in Pac-12 games.
