1. Azuolas Tubelis – Junior Forward – #10

2022-23 stats: 8 GP, 27.0 MIN, 20.1 PPG, 8.3 REB, 2.6 TOV, 61.9 FG%, 87.1 FT%

The 6-foot-11 junior forward from Lithuania is now leading this Wildcats team, after Bennedict Mathurin (Indiana Pacers guard) helped take Arizona to a 33-4 record last season, but fell short against Houston in the Sweet 16 of the 2022 NCAA Tournament.

Tubelis, leading the Wildcats in scoring (20.1) and second in rebounding (8.3) this season, could become the fourth Arizona Wildcat to average 20.0+ points in a season since 1996-97 — the first since Deandre Ayton averaged 20.1 in 2017-18.

The Lithuanian forward will be the primary scorer on this Wildcats team and if Race Thompson doesn’t show up to limit him to hopefully less than 15 points on Saturday, Arizona could run away with this game offensively.
