In a curious twist, Ben Gregg played more games for Gonzaga during the COVID-abbreviated 2020-21 season when he should have been finishing out his senior year of high school than he did in 21-22 during his true freshman campaign. Of course, that doesn’t tell the whole story about Gregg’s development arc.
Mark Few was locked into a frontcourt rotation of Drew Timme, Anton Watson, and Chet Holmgren from the outset of the season, but Gregg is further along from where he was at this time last year and almost certainly a better player now than he otherwise would have been had he not had the bonus semester the year prior.
