Intervention Needed
Of those 5, Ainge would serve as the best PG.
Jimmer would actually be a bad fit for that group, I think.

Probably "recency" bias. OP may not know who Cosic is. He played a long time ago

He didn’t score like Jimmer. He might be the GOAT, but he didn’t score like Jimm

Ainge would have been the all time scoring leader if he had a 3 point line.

Ainge is no longer top 2 in career points, assists, or steals.

Good point. However the comparison was between Jimmer and Ainge.

so Ainge > Jimmer because Ainge held a record for 30 yrs.. then Jimmer broke it?

Bradley is the only BYU player that’s been one and done. That should tell you Bradley belongs on the starting 5.
