Storyline: Three Pac-12 freshmen could be among the Top 10 NBA Draft picks in June, but Miller loves to talk about former UA recruiting target Ivan Rabb, who may be considered for conference player of the year as a sophomore.
He said it: “Ivan Rabb is somebody who’s sometimes under the radar because he’s no longer a freshman and everybody focuses on those first-year players. But how well he’s playing and how good of a player he is — he’s somebody that I’m happy is in our conference, because there aren’t too many frontcourt players who are better than him. He had a big game against Stanford and I can see him hitting his stride down the stretch of the Pac-12.” — UA coach Miller.
