If I had to pick, I'd rather have bigs who can box out consistently and can

score in the low post. This BYU team will have plenty of guys next season who are more than willing to jack up 3s - whether good shots or not. It would be really nice to have more guys like Mika (the bext inside presence since Davies) who can score in the paint and can predictably get rebounds.

Maye hit the 20 footer. He's a 4, and if you ask Roy he'll tell lyou that while
