Devonaire Doutrive playing more minutes ‘makes a lot of sense’ for Arizona

Where is Devonaire?

It’s the question seemingly every Arizona Wildcats fan wants the answer to.

Devonaire Doutrive has shown a penchant for making electrifying plays, averaging 18.5 points per 40 minutes including a nice 69.2 shooting percentage, yet he has only played 41 minutes this season, sitting out half of Arizona’s 12 games.

And it’s not like he is a walk-on feasting on equally poor competition. Doutrive was a top-100 recruit out of high school, top-10 in the state of the California.

He can play, but doesn’t.

That does not make much sense for an Arizona team that ranks 105th in offensive efficiency and sorely needs a scoring punch, but it all circles back to defense where Doutrive is a work in progress.
