Dan Dickau believes Gonzaga's rotational players will 'need to step up' moving forward

Braden Huff only played four minutes vs. Washington

Depth has been one of the major focuses for the No. 10 Gonzaga Bulldogs as the 2023-24 season progresses. Following the knee injury to Steele Venters, players new to the program (and college basketball in general) have been asked to play larger roles than previously expected. With that comes a few kinks to work out, evidenced by the Bulldogs' loss at Washington on Saturday.

It hasn't been easy getting playing time for some first-year players amid a gauntlet of a nonconference schedule. Ryan Nembhard, Nolan Hickman, Anton Watson and freshman Dusty Stromer have each logged 40 minutes in a game at some point this season. Mark Few continues to try to find ways to incorporate his reserves more frequently, most notably Jun Seok Yeo and Luka Krajnovic.

Former Gonzaga All-American Dan Dickau wants to see more of Yeo and Krajnovic on the floor for the Bulldogs as they near West Coast Conference play. Watch what Dickau had to say about the Bulldogs' rotation on a new episode of Gonzaga Nation.
