Miller on Elliott Pitts

From Bruce Pascoe -- Sean Miller speaking:

“He’s from the storied De La Salle program, and that’s one of the things I like about both guys – they’re coached on a daily basis and winning matters in their school. De La Salle has an incredible program in the state of California and Elliott has been a central piece to their program the last few years.

“I don’t believe he’s getting enough credit right now for who he is as a player. Part of it is physically he’s a late developer. I believe he’s going to grow. He’s certainly going to be heavier when he gets here. The attributes that we love about him as a player is he’s a great passer, very skilled shooter and can play at more than one position. So when you think about us losing Mark Lyons, Kevin Parrom and Solomon Hill, I thought Elliott Pitts and Rondae Jefferson were the answer for us and we’re ecstatic to have both of them. They also are very good students, come from great families, and I think they’ll really buy into what we’re trying to do here at Arizona which is do something that’s bigger than yourself. Be a part of a program and a team that believes in itself.”
