Arizona Basketball: Incoming guard Kerr Kriisa is legit!
With not much known about the European kids coming into Arizona Basketball, let me tell that the Wildcats will have a good one in Kerr Kriisa.
It’s been a busy few months of recruiting for Arizona Basketball and Sean Miller, especially as they’ve brought in a lot of unknown talent. Well, despite some of the mysteriousness, I think the Wildcats have a good one in incoming freshman Kerr Kriisa.
A standout guard over in Estonia, this kid ranks among the top in terms of college eligible recruits that are from Europe. I know that’s kind of a confusing distinction, but basically he’s a very good player with high upside.

Coming in a 6-feet-2-inches and 170 pounds, he already has solid size to be a college guard, even possessing the ability to get bigger and develop more once he finally comes to campus!
In my opinion, this is going to turn out to be a great get for the Wildcats. Already Kerr looks like a good prospect. He has great guard skills, and what I especially like about him is his versatility.
He can dribble up the court and facilitate the basketball like a point guard normally would, or he can spot up and light up opposing teams from all over the floor. In Arizona’s case, I could see him play the two immediately alongside James Akinjo (assuming he’s immediately eligible), and it all likelihood be the back-up point guard.
If you need proof of just how good he is, yesterday when the Estonian national team took on a good rather solid Lithuanian team team in the Baltic Way Cup, Kerr led his team to an impressive, 92-85 victory, scoring 26 point and dishing out seven assists, while connecting on a 8-12 three-point attempts!
So in the end, Kerr Kriisa ended up making 8/12 3-pointers, good for 26 points and added 7 assists as he led Estonia to a 92-85 victory over Lithuania. Was by far the best player on the floor tonight.

All this at 19 years old. Unbelievable.
Now that’s some shooting that the Wildcat could certainly use next season! If you wanted to see some of the highlights from yesterday, here you go!
