this season is vital for the Wildcats, as a combination of Withey and Jordan Hill would be dynamic. Brendon Lavender is another freshman that should contribute this season. Lavender is a versatile guard, who is noted for his all-around game and unselfish play. His team first attitude will certainly see Lavender play significant minutes this season, and potentially push for a spot in the starting lineup. The last freshman who may contribute this season is Kyle Fogg. Fogg has been described as a hidden gem by many recruiting websites, and it appears that Arizona may have found an elite player. The 6'3 guard could prove to be a tremendous weapon of the bench this season, and should be an elite scorer by the end of his Arizona career.Darnell Shumpert and Garland Judkins complete the class, but neither is expected to see playing time this season.

Players to Watch: Even with the departure of Jerryd Bayless to the NBA, Lute Olson should still have a very talented group this season. Leading the Wildcats will be Chase Budinger. Budinger seemed destined to follow Bayless to the NBA, but pulled himself out of the draft on the last day. He is an elite athlete, who has shooting range beyond the 3 point line. Because of his unbelievable jumping ability, it is nearly impossible to block Budinger's jump shot. Last season, he averaged 17.1 points per game, but only shot 38% from beyond the arc. If Budinger can improve his outside shooting, he could average over 20 points per game.
