MORE ON DJ HORNE & DESMOND CAMBRIDGE JR.
DJ Horne and Desmond Cambridge Jr. are expected to form a potent backcourt combination this season. The duo combined to average 28.7 points per game, the fourth-most of any returning duo in the Pac-12. Horne is the league’s fifth-leading returning scorer among players that played in the league last year, while Cambridge is coming off earning Mountain West All-Conference distinction. Both guards were extremely effective from beyond the three-point arc, combining to make 160 three-point field goals in 2021-22. The spacing they provide figures to open up the inside for the much improved Sun Devil front line and allow even more opportunities for penetration.
