6. Kerr Kriisa
Kriisa's energy and enthusiasm for basketball are being missed sorely right now. He is a leader, and while he may be the second-best point guard on this team, he is needed for high-quality valuable minutes. Butler needs breaks, and Kriisa needs to get healthy so he can give them to him.
7. Koby Brea
Brea is the best shooter on the team, and no one would argue against that. He's important for scoring and creating opportunities for the other players on his team. The opponents must always factor in where Brea is, and they work to play him strong along the perimeter. However, he's struggled defensively at times. He is often who teams are trying to match up against on the defensive end. If he can step up his defense, he will play more minutes.
8. Brandon Garrison
This low on the list makes it seem like I don't like Garrison or think he's all that great. The opposite is true, actually. He's got the highest NBA potential, and he's drawing in scouts to games, but he needs to take about four steps forward this season to really be someone the Wildcats can depend on. He has to develop both rebounding and rim-protecting skills.
