Even without projected NBA lottery pick Nick Smith Jr., who came into the 2022-23 season as a heralded five-star shooting guard out of high school, the Arkansas Razorbacks’ backcourt has no shortage of talented guards. The three-headed monster of fellow five-star freshman Anthony Black and juniors Ricky Council IV and Davonte Davis has created a very dangerous attack for head coach Eric Musselman, who leans on that triad to provide the heavy bulk of production for his group.
Even though Arkansas, much like Kentucky, has failed to live up to lofty preseason expectations, the Razorbacks are still one of the SEC’s most dangerous teams, mainly because of what the three guards mentioned above bring to the table.
