Mike Schmitz, one of ESPN's lead basketball recruiting and draft analysts, gave his thoughts on what UA's newest guard will bring to the table and why he thinks Kriisa will be successful at the collegiate level.
Big news for Arizona landing Kerr Kriisa. I remember first evaluating Kriisa as a 15-year-old in Tallinn, Estonia at the 2016 Baltic Sea Cup. The fiery 6-3 guard has had strong showings since then at the FIBA level & BWB Global. Competitive w/ touch + IQ. https://t.co/2geAFNh3cs

Kerr Kriisa's shotmaking ability, competitiveness and passing instincts should allow him to be very successful at the collegiate level. Has quite a bit of experience for a 19-year-old given his national team résumé and production in Lithuania. pic.twitter.com/kJSuYqsXpW
