I will be shocked if Fouss isn't playing 25-30 minutes too. Unless a more talented big comes to town, Fouss will be very important to our offense. The other bigs in the program don't have much, if any offensive game.

Not enough offensive talent. Need another ball handler too. Baker should be in there.

SinkingQuffa

Jun 2, 7:14pm

Who are you taking out for Baker? I don’t think Baker is going to start over

LakeshowCougs

Jun 2, 7:19pm

Richie or Mag. Demin's versatility would allow for either switch, I think.

SinkingQuffa

Jun 2, 7:20pm

I think Mag has start for defense. None of the other guys are good perimeter

LakeshowCougs

Jun 2, 7:22pm

I'd probably vote that way, too. I'm sick of us playing small.

SinkingQuffa

Jun 2, 7:23pm

Unless Saunders vastly improves his ball handling, I agree.

LakeshowCougs

Jun 2, 7:25pm

He REALLY needs to make that happen. He plays really upright, though — so I don't see that as a likely quick-fix.

SinkingQuffa

Jun 2, 7:26pm

It is the biggest hole in his game. If he could handle the ball . . . Oh boy.

LakeshowCougs

Jun 2, 7:29pm

I agree. He's on the cusp of being a great spot shooter.

SinkingQuffa

Jun 2, 7:30pm

Not having seen Mag, 18 yr old Demin or Keita much in a game, I lean toward RS

Forzaitalia

Don’t need another ball handler when Demin is as or more capable as a point then

By midseason it might be okay. Defensively that is one stout group.

Fouss should be the starting center

Adrielle

Jun 2, 7:15pm

I agree. Anyone else wanting that spot has to earn it. Fouss already has!

Not under Kevin Young. Sorry that ain't how it works.

Feels like this unit is lacking a bit offensively...

If healthy, I bet Baker starts

Is it dumb that I feel Fouss should be rewarded with a start his senior season?

Kdubb

Jun 2, 7:20pm

The best player should play. If Fouss shows to be better then start him.

LakeshowCougs

Jun 2, 7:22pm

I think Fouss will prove to be the best 5 on offense

stoils

Jun 2, 9:28pm

What matters more to players is who finishes. There will be some games Fouss

puntersarepeople

Jun 2, 7:45pm

Wouldn’t just be rewarding Fouss, he’s by far better offensively then Mag or

bigbossbyu

Jun 2, 9:15pm

Yes, its dumb! Best player gets more minutes and most likely starts as well.

Ward5

Jun 2, 10:31pm

I like it. Baker as the first guy of the bench

cougaman

Crawford/Baker/Knell/Koz/Fouss is a bad-A 2nd unit.

Final Four confirmed

thewaterboy

Jun 2, 7:25pm

That second unit is better than a lot of our starting 5s in years past.

Feels like you need another shooter.

Most athletic starting 5 at BYU ever?

I put Fouss in there, but it's great

I could see a Hall/Denim and Keita pick n roll being nasty. Keita is explosive.

I agree but Keira is very good on the low block and may have

He is a great offensive player in certain sets. But in the offense most think we will be moving towards, a back to the

Fouss still needs to start - he’s a total stud

RWaters

Jun 2, 7:39pm

I’d say ok if Fouss had better handles and kick out to perimeter shooters when doubled

Keita and Mag on the floor together, plus a FR... could be a problem on O

If Baker is as advertised he should get the start. Offensive nightmare.

Heath Squashwell

Jun 2, 8:45pm

Fous has to start.

ochobeeguy

Jun 2, 8:51pm

You could slide Richie to 4, and put Baker in for Offensive Oriented Lineup

Dr T-bone

Jun 2, 9:18pm

I hope Richie's days at the 4 are done. Put that kid at a spot he can lock it down.

He’ll have to revise once we get Dybantsa
