UCLA Basketball: Previewing Next Season’s Newest Roster Additions
Your UCLA Bruins are in the midst of rebuilding their roster once again after a number of seasons in which they brought in some of the top recruits in the nation and made some impressive runs in the March Madness tournament over the years. They remain a popular destinations considering the competitive and hard-working culture they've put together and the environment surrounding the campus.
But the Bruins community wants them to go the full mile and even though a number of fan favorites went on to the NBA after they fell to the Gonzaga Bulldogs in March once again, they were able to reconstruct and revamp their roster once again. Starting off at the guard slots, Sebastian Mack is a 6'4 guard that has a killer instinct to just get to the rim and score. Mack has played for some of the best AAU squads over the years facing top-knock competition in the brightest lights is nothing new to him.
Devin Williams also is one of the biggest recruits that UCLA was able to land and seeing that he brings a lot of length and athleticism at the power forward position, head coach Mick Cronin will utilize him off the jump. And speaking of Williams, Brandon Williams has a similar build but works more from the perimeter and has all the confidence in his jumper.
And Bruin Report's Tracy Pierson detailed why another addition to the squad would likely have to be a transfer.
" If he were to take on a 13th scholarship player, it would probably be a grad transfers -- not only because a grad transfer would bring the much-needed element of experience to the team, but grad transfers are the only type of transfers that can enter the transfer portal between now and the end of next season. And it'd have to be a truly perfect fit -- an experienced player who would completely accept filling a role coming off the bench on a team of very talented freshmen. There aren't too many of those types of transfers around."(Via Bruin Report)
Let's see how these guys develop in their first season!
