Araujo was clearly not NBA material. Played in just over 100 games, 19 min. per

game with much less than 3 points and 3 rebounds. Araujo might have been better than Fouss or Keba, but not significantly. There are clearly situations Araujo would perform better than Fouss and/ or Keba, but the players that fill that role better than Araujo are Greg Kite, Jeff Chatman, probably Brandon Davies or others.

What one player from BYU’s past teams

Shawn Bradley

Too slow for the style KY wants to play

Bradley wasn’t slow in college. He was like Wemby. I think his game would’ve

Meh…having someone that is 7’6 on this team would be pretty epic, even if it took an extra 2 seconds to start sets.

SB elite rim protector; 5.2 bpg his frosh yr& 14.6 ppg. KY woulda loved him!

Bradley was actually pretty athletic.

He was. Just didn't look as much in the NBA

TNT

Sep 18, 6:58am

You might have his Dallas version in mind too much. He wasn't just slowed by age, but by multiple chronic injuries.

SinkingQuffa

Sep 18, 7:05am

Yes he was. Excellent golfer and baseball player. Modern stats tell us he was very underrated in NBA.

Having him protect the rim changes everything. Guys could completely sell out on

Jimmer, duh.

mulletino

Sep 17, 11:56pm

Nope. Jimmer needs a team willing to subordinate their own offensive games.

Ainge

Danny Ainge. Jimmer would be the next choice. Then Shawn Bradley.

His gimpy knees affected his lateral quickness on D but his bball IQ imo...

icecougar

He'd certainly give us something — but we got parity covering that basic spot. Catchings, Demin, Richie, Knell, Mag.

SinkingQuffa

Jimmer, partly for Jimmer-mania

On THIS team — I'd rather have Keba. MUCH more athletic, probably AS strong — & his standing reach has gotta be better

Hoffa was

Sep 18, 12:54am

Height is only half the story. Fouss & Keba's arms are both much longer than Hoffa's.

SinkingQuffa

Sep 18, 12:55am

If playing ability worked on 40 times and arm lengths

gurt

Sep 18, 1:03am

Hoffa was good, but defensively, Keba has much more upside. Hoffa's draft rank was a huge mistake.

Your comparing a guy who

Araujo wouldn't go in the 2nd round today. And shoulda fell outa the 2nd round even in his day.

SinkingQuffa

I’ll tell you what

Amen. Believe it or not, I LOVED Araujo as a player. He was very entertaining & a great competitor & hard worker.

Sep 18, 6:50am

If we didn't have offensive talent elsewhere, I'd probably take Araujo over Keba. I'd take him over Fouss either way,

SinkingQuffa

Sep 18, 7:12am

How about putting the ball in the basket and rebounding.

ledfoot

Sep 18, 2:56am

Hoffa was a very good college player. Who was not long or athletic enough for the NBA.

Easy answer for me. Kresimir Cosic

osbooks

Sep 18, 12:10am

I think Egor's much closer to him than any of our guards are to Ainge.

SinkingQuffa

Sep 18, 12:42am

Cosic at the 5. He was 6’11”.

Cougarbib

Sep 18, 7:15am

I'll have to admit — he & Egor together just might amount to a cheat code to a championship.

SinkingQuffa

Sep 18, 7:20am

Yep, put Cosic on this team and they’re going undefeated

AF Cougar

Grew up as a PG. 6'0" in HS. He had the heart of a PG. He would be greatest of rock star athletes, as he was in Europe.

I'd want someone with a better all around game who wasn't just a low post guy

icecougar

Sep 18, 12:18am

Yoeli Childs or Brandon Davies

Remigius

Sep 18, 12:37am

Ainge then Bradley. And it's a pretty big drop-off after that, imo — but still PLENTY of guys who'd improve our team.

SinkingQuffa

Sep 18, 12:49am

People forget Ainge was a top defender as well as scorer

Fdnman

Sep 18, 6:12am

Roland Minson… next question

Jimmy Balderson would be a fun add to this team

ForzaPuma

Sep 18, 3:57am

You think he'd even play?

SinkingQuffa

Sep 18, 5:16am

Even if just a joke, I got mad respect for Jimmy. His ball-handling as an off guard really helped us out his Jr-Sr yrs.

While this is true, I do like that we have guys like Richie & Mag in the mix this season (& Trey too if we need him).

SinkingQuffa

Sep 18, 7:24am

Also true, but none are Jackson

cajuncoug

I really hope Mag can find a connection on offense w Dallin or Egor. If he can be an effective slasher for us

Kresimir Cosic. Don't see a close alternative. Bradley and Ainge would be distant next up.
