Arizona center Dusan Ristic gestures to the ZonaZoo student section after dropping in a 3-pointer against Arizona State in the second half of their Pac-12 game at McKale Center on Jan. 12, 2017.

Who he is: A 7-foot center with an impressive array of offensive low post moves.

He said it: “One of the nicest people on the team, just really genuine. He’d go to battle any day, for any of us. He probably has the biggest heart on the team. He never talks bad about anybody.” — Comanche
