Georgetown @ Washington State picks

I think Wazzu’s absences will loom larger in this contest as the Cougars have no guards with meaningful experience. The only available player standing under 6-foot-7 who played meaningful minutes is Tomas Thrastarson, a freshman from Iceland with nearly as many turnovers (16) as assists (17). Parker Gerrits and Kase Wynott saw the court in a combined 54 games, but they averaged just 2.8 points and are more question marks than anything. Forward LeJuan Watts can do it all and will likely be tasked with greater responsibility on the ball, but he also leads the team in turnovers per game (3.3). It’ll be difficult to execute coach David Riley’s pace-and-space team with a severe dearth of ballhandlers.
