definitely more coordinated and fluid. We all loved AAA, but he wasn't a next-level D1 player.

Per 40 numbers between Keita and AAA will be good to have handy for discussion

He also has two years of eligibility vs one for AAA. And we needs bigs in two

Agreed. I wish AAA well, but I believe Keita has much more upside

its pretty obvious that AAA has much more upside, but Keita is much

If someone is still a long ways from their upside after 3 years in a program,

Keita will never be the alley-oop threat that Atiki is currently. That's a big

I love Atiki, but on offense, he frequently looked confused at which play we

Would love to have Keita.

Keba's been playing basketball longer. For all of Atiki's athleticism, his mobility just wasn't coming along

Keba and Fouss might be okay defensively but that’s not going to work on offense

May 2, 2:58pm

Sure it will. Keba would give us a killer screener on the perimeter while Fouss establishes low.

Sorry but that’s not how basketball works these days. Certainly not in an NBA system KY is trying to bring in

If it's not — why did so many media voices make such a deal of the novelty in BYU running 4 & 5 shooters at a time?

SinkingQuffa

May 2, 3:43pm

Even at KU Dickinson can shoot

puntersarepeople

May 2, 3:55pm

Kinda. They ran Adams as a non-shooter cuz they knew he'd cover the costs w his disruption

can you cite an article where most coaches are saying they prefer a 4 that can't

When your 5 is neither tall, mobile, nor an outside threat?

Everyone needs help in the paint vs good bigs nowadays. That's why modern help defenses are best. As in Houston Cougs.

it won't work well. When Keita is setting screens on the perimeter the defense..

Yeah, understand, but I've seen many a BYU player that didn't seem distinctive

What about technical fouls per 40 minutes - who wins there?

CrimWalCoug

May 2, 1:51pm

Good info. Without these same numbers, IMO Keba vs Khalifa are a wash??

Cougarpride

May 2, 3:15pm

Assuming he can stay on the court for more than 5 mins per game without fouling

russkiejedi

May 2, 6:10pm

Yep. AAA’s per 40 numbers are irrelevant as soon as you take the 9.0 fouls into

AAA is taller no?
