Comes off bench in exhibition Hickman came off the bench and had 12 points (4-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two assists and two steals in Saturday's exhibition loss to USC. Impact Hickman has been a starter the last two seasons for the Zags, so it was a bit surprising to see him come off the bench in this big exhibition game. That being said new wings like Khalif Battle and Michael Ajayi are also both deserving of starting spots like they did on Saturday. Hickman still played nearly 29 minutes, so whether or not he is starting seems irrelevant. Gonzaga is likely to play small with four guards for long stretches of games. They will open the regular season against Baylor on Nov. 4.
