I’d say no—not because that’s my personal belief, but because Cronin has shown no inclination to go in that direction. Despite widespread calls for a lineup featuring Mara, Bilodeau, and Dailey, he consistently rejected the idea. My guess is that he believes the trio lacks the athleticism needed to be on the floor together. Personally, I would have loved to see it. As far as I know—and I’ve watched every minute of every game—he never used that lineup even once all season.
Maybe there's a scenario where he'd play Dailey as more of a wing, but not with Bilodeau and Mara.
One way or another, one of those guys will not be starting for UCLA next year.
