Motiejus Krivas gives Arizona a 7-foot-2 anchor with defensive bite and a growing offensive ceiling
In the 2025-26 season, Krivas emerged as a full-time starter and one of Arizona’s most important frontcourt pieces, averaging 10.4 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 1.9 blocks while earning All-Big 12 First Team and Big 12 All-Defensive Team recognition. His differentiators are obvious: elite size, rim protection, rebounding, and real feel as a high-major center who can finish around the basket and punish smaller lineups. The caution flag is durability — he previously missed most of the 2024-25 season with a foot injury — but when he’s right, he looks like a serious difference-maker.
