Kerr Kriisa is eligible to debut for the Arizona Wildcats on Thursday at Utah and he will join the rotation at an opportune time.
Arizona is without starting two-guard Jemarl Baker Jr. for the season and just grinded through four games in 10 days as two key players—Bennedict Mathurin and Jordan Brown—battled ankle injuries.
At worst, Kriisa adds depth to a thin backcourt that has seen its minutes stack up over the last couple of weeks. At best, Kriisa’s ball-handling and shooting will elevate an Arizona offense that is already the 22nd-best in the country.
