Along with developing the younger players on the roster, Arizona coach Tommy Lloyd made it clear that his goal is ensuring that his returning players make a leap from their previous in order to maintain the success of the program. A couple players that stood out to Lloyd to potentially make these veteran jumps are Pelle Larsson, Oumar Ballo and Kerr Kriisa who are all projected to receive bigger roles in their second year in his rotation.

Expectations are at an all-time high for rising Swedish junior guard Larsson as he gets ready for a potential breakout season as one of the leaders for this new look Wildcats team.
