Arizona women’s basketball is very deep this year. Any number of players could snag the role as the starting two-guard. The voters for the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame Hoophall Awards think they know the best option on the roster. The group voted Arizona guard Taylor Chavez among the 20 players on the Ann Meyers Drysdale Award preseason watch list on Tuesday. The award honors the nation’s top shooting guard.
Chavez spent three years at Oregon before transferring to Arizona in the offseason. In 2020, she was named the Pac-12 Sixth Player of the Year as a Ducks sophomore.
