UA sophomore centerΒ Chance Comanche’s decision to enter the NBA draft β€” he has six weeks to withdraw β€” isn’t much different than that ofΒ Grant JerrettΒ in 2013. Jerrett played 606 minutes as an Arizona freshman; Comanche played 671 minutes this year. Jerrett attempted 154 shots; Comanche 156. Now playing for the Beijing Ducks in the Chinese Pro League, Jerrett is having his best professional season, averaging 17.8 points and playing 32 minutes per game. Jerrett won’t turn 24 until July.Β
