If it wasn’t clear immediately after the season’s abrupt end, the past few weeks have shown that Washington basketball is undergoing an offensive metamorphosis this offseason.
For the first time in his tenure in Seattle, head coach Mike Hopkins will be without a dominant big like Noah Dickerson or Isaiah Stewart to funnel the ball to down low and catalyze movement. Few programs in the country have relied on direct post-ups to keep the offense afloat as frequently as the Huskies in the past few years, but that looks to change soon.
