I'm glad to have Keita, but really don't understand the Keita>Fous posts.

I think the reason for people projecting Keita as the starter over Fouss has

If the three. Keba, Fouss, Mady

For me it is simple: Defense wins the Big12 (houston, Iowa State) and the NC

Our defense tanking was much more of a Khalifa problem than Fouss lol

Both centers were actually good at one on one D

Khalifa got murdered by Keita so I’m having a hard time buying that

10 pts and some of those were against Atiki?

They were destroyed on the PNR. For different reasons. Fouss basically

It's a close call. I'd suppose an even split with slight upside edge to Keba. Fouss knows offensive game much better at

This. Either way they'll get even minutes

Those two may be the most secure guys on team regarding their roles. They'll alternate at center, roughly 18-22 minutes.

Only question will be what happens if one of them gets injured

Good Question. And probably at least a 30% probability.

If Fouss were a stronger defensive 5, I'd agree. Fouss is strong, but for a D1 big is a pretty average athlete.

And if Fouss was an above the rim threat he would be a better fit in the offense

Here's my theory on it

Always good to get the Ute copium perspective

Keita was probably the 4th best player on Utah last year; losing him is a big punch to them

The value of skillsets is often contextual.

Fair enough, as an FYI here is my background

krindorr

None of those guys you mention can do what Keita does at center.

Oh, there's no doubt he's a good add

Fous will score more points, part of the reason he likely won't start

stansburycoug

Jul 12, 10:04am

Fous is a far better offensive player, Keita is a far better defensive player.
