Zags have big plans for big three

Gonzaga forward Domantas Sabonis (11) shoots over Memphis during the first half of a college basketball game on Saturday, Jan 31, 2015, at McCarthey Athletic Center in Spokane, Wash.  Przemek Karnowski looks on. Sabonis, Karnowski and Kyle Wiltjer are three reasons why the Zags are ranked No. 11 in the nation in a coaches' preseason poll. (File photo/Spokesman-Review)

The Zags’ frontcourt has been ranked as the best in the nation by NBC Sports’ college basketball website and among the top 10 by several media outlets.

Gonzaga coaches have plans to use standouts Kyle Wiltjer, Domantas Sabonis and Przemek Karnowski simultaneously at times, with Wiltjer the likely candidate for the ‘3’, or small forward position. That would likely be the biggest frontcourt in the country and it’s an intriguing option — one that could create mismatches, perhaps favorably and unfavorably, at each end of the floor.

That’s the topic for my article that will run in Wednesday’s S-R.
