Turkish freshman Tibet Görener wants to be more than a shooter at Arizona

There’s no secret what Tibet Görener brings to the Arizona Wildcats.

“The way he can shoot the ball, nobody really shoots like him too much on the team,” added junior guard Jemarl Baker Jr.

This year’s team or really any in years past. The Turkish forward is the 3-point specialist Arizona has been missing for years, particularly in the frontcourt.

Consider these numbers: When Görener played for Turkey in the FIBA Championships, 78 of his 132 shots (59%) came from behind the arc, including 40 of 54 in the 2019 tournament.
