NECESSITY: Transfer Scotty Middleton would provide CRUCIAL outside shooting for Mark Few, Gonzaga

Gonzaga Bulldogs target elite outside shooting with eyes on transfer wing Scotty Middleton. Could his arrival be the missing piece for Mark Few’s squad after last season’s three-point struggles? Andy Patton breaks down Middleton’s statistical profile, including his 39% career mark from beyond the arc across Ohio State, Seton Hall, and Tulane.

The episode explores Middleton’s projected fit within Gonzaga’s rotation, the Zags’ urgent need for reliable wing shooters, and how Middleton compares to former sharpshooters like Steele Venters and Nolan Hickman. Additional discussion includes which programs—San Diego State, Wichita State, and LSU—should also be in the hunt for Middleton’s services as international roster uncertainty looms.

Plus, Andy Patton reviews Braeden Smith’s unique legacy at Gonzaga, highlighting his selfless redshirt year and key performances during a transitional season. Can the Zags shore up their perimeter game and depth before the new-look Pac-12 campaign begins?
