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

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

Spocougar

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.

d-coug

Jun 2, 7:23pm

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.

JuicyJam

Most athletic starting 5 at BYU ever?

CougarCanuck76

Jun 2, 7:29pm

I put Fouss in there, but it's great

BYUCougarsFan

Jun 2, 7:32pm

This, I will be shocked if our best offensive player is not starting

Remigius

Jun 2, 7:40pm

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

Atmospheric_Cougar

Jun 2, 11:20pm

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

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.

SinkingQuffa

He’ll have to revise once we get Dybantsa
