Arizona Daily Star columnist Greg Hansen:
Sometime in the 2005-06 basketball season, it’s possible [Arizona Coach] Lute Olson will start a lineup of players from around the globe:
Nigeria’s Chukwuma Okwandu at center; Mali’s Mohamed Tangara at power forward; Serbia’s Ivan Radenovic as a wing shooter; Puerto Rico’s Jesus Verdejo at shooting guard; and Australia’s Daniel Dillon at point guard.
Imagine Arizona meeting Kentucky in the ’06 Final Four. UK’s starting lineup that day might include 7-foot Lukasz Obrzut of Poland; shooting guard Kelenna Azubuike of Nigeria via Great Britain; and Montreal guard Thomas Sheraf.
