Gonzaga's season ended a week ago and there's already been some promising developments for 2016, the biggest of which is Domantas Sabonis planning to return for his sophomore season.

Sabonis was projected as a late first-round pick so there had to be some temptation to leave early. His father, Arvydas, the legendary center, apparently used his NBA contacts to get a feel for Domas' draft position. Sabonis has all the tools to become an excellent pro, including a mid-range jumper that he didn't display much this season.

Here's my early look at the 2016 Zags that ran in today's S-R.
