Cruz Lucius missed the first half of the 2024-25 season recovering from injury after transferring to Arizona State University but never really found consistency after retuning to the lineup, posting only 10 points in 19 games with the Sun Devils. Prior to transferring, the 2022 fourth round pick acquired as part of the Jake Guentzel trade recorded back-to-back 34-point season with the University of Wisconsin, leading the team both seasons. Healthy headed into 2025-26, expect Lucius to be a big time bounce back candidate with a Sun Devil team looking to turn the corner and be among the best in the NCAA.
