Red Mamba. In his freshman year, starting point guard Nico Mannion has lived up to the hype for Arizona Basketball. He’s the leader of this team and when he is out on the floor, he gives this team the best chance to win. One of the best point guards in the country, yet he was left off the list as one of the finalists for the Bob Cousy award. That’s just more motivation for him to prove everyone wrong.
Not to take anything away from those who made the cut, but Mannion’s overall skillset and the impact he has on the game make him one of the best point guards in college basketball.
