Arizona basketball: Wildcats have options at point guard in 2017-18

Since T.J. McConnell’s departure at the end of the 2014-15 season, the Arizona Wildcats have struggled to find high-quality point guard play.

Kadeem Allen and Parker Jackson-Cartwright ran the offense the past two seasons and the results were mixed.

Allen was the team’s best perimeter defender and averaged 9.1 points per game, but he was not a natural distributor, tallying just 3.3 assists per game with an assist-to-turnover ratio of 1.67

Jackson-Cartwright has shot the ball well (39.8 percent from 3) and compiled a respectable assist-to-turnover ratio of 2.
