The Huskies had a visitor in the crowd: forward Marquese Chriss, a rookie with the Phoenix Suns.
Before last season, Chriss wasn’t thought to be a one-and-done, but after flashing his athletic potential — he’s a 6-9 forward — Chriss’ stock went through the roof and he left early, leaving the talent cupboard relatively bear by the time Fultz arrived.
In two games against Arizona last year — both losses — Chriss averaged 15.5 points and six rebounds per game.
