“T.J. is a unique player. He’s probably the best pure point guard that I’ve ever seen or played against. He’ll pass up an open layup to get somebody else an assist. He sees everything. He’s just a special player. Next year, the Arizona fans are definitely going to love him.” — Nick Johnson, ex-UA guard
