Arizona is loaded on the perimeter after landing Terrance Ferguson
When standout wing Allonzo Trier announced his decision to return to Arizona this month, the lone downside appeared to be the potential for his presence to dissuade other shooting guards the Wildcats were pursuing from coming.
Turns out that didn't happen.
Arizona landed one of the Class of 2016's top wings on Wednesday night when 6-foot-6 Terrance Ferguson announced on Twitter that he had committed. Ferguson, Rivals.com's No. 12 prospect, is an elite shooter who is also an outstanding perimeter defender and one of the best dunkers in his class.
The relationship between Ferguson and Arizona stems from his stint last summer playing for Sean Miller on USA Basketball's U-19 team. When Ferguson backed out of his initial commitment to Alabama on March 1, Arizona instantly became one of the leading contenders to land him along with fellow suitors Baylor, Kansas, Maryland, North Carolina and NC State.
Ferguson's commitment leaves Miller with a problem other coaches would kill to have. Arizona has so many talented perimeter players on next year's roster that it will be tough to find playing time for all of them.
The only certain starter is Trier, a 6-foot-4 wing who averaged 14.8 points per game as a freshman and also improved defensively throughout the season. Also returning are rising junior point guard Parker Jackson-Cartwright, rising senior combo guard Kadeem Allen and small forward Ray Smith, Arizona's most heralded recruit in the 2015 class before a torn ACL sidelined him all of this past season.
The quality of Arizona's incoming class makes it uncertain whether Smith will start right away or whether Allen and Jackson-Cartwright will again split playing time at point guard. In addition to Ferguson, two other Rivals top 20 prospects are both Tucson-bound: slashing 6-foot-4 wing Rawle Alkins and 6-foot-5 scoring point guard Kobi Simmons.
How can Arizona find playing time for all seven of those players? There's still a slim chance the Wildcats may not have to worry about that. Alkins did not fax his letter of intent on the first day of the spring signing period on Wednesday, though he has until mid-May to do it.
If Alkins signs later this week as expected, one option could be going small and giving the 6-7 Smith extended minutes as an undersized power forward. That would allow Ferguson to start alongside Trier at wing and make sure Arizona has sufficient outside shooting to space the floor at all times.
Playing Smith at power forward would also mask the one potential weak spot on the Arizona roster. While the Wildcats have Dusan Ristic and Chance Comanche back at center, the lone true power forward on the roster is Finnish freshman Lauri Markannen, another highly touted prospect but one that may not be ready to play 30 minutes per game right away.
Regardless, the perimeter logjam Arizona has is definitely not a bad thing. It will just be up to Miller to figure the lineup combinations that give the Wildcats the best chance to win and keep everybody happy.
