Fouss is the most talented complete big man. He is only 6’6”. All three are good big man. All three are great guys. If Fouss was 2-3 inches taller he would be unstoppable.

I'm glad to have Keita, but really don't understand the Keita>Fous posts.

I think the reason for people projecting Keita as the starter over Fouss has

There were multiple times last year where he basically looked unstoppable. I am

For me it is simple: Defense wins the Big12 (houston, Iowa State) and the NC

Our defense tanking was much more of a Khalifa problem than Fouss lol

Both centers were actually good at one on one D

Khalifa got murdered by Keita so I’m having a hard time buying that

It's a close call. I'd suppose an even split with slight upside edge to Keba. Fouss knows offensive game much better at

This. Either way they'll get even minutes

Those two may be the most secure guys on team regarding their roles. They'll alternate at center, roughly 18-22 minutes.

Only question will be what happens if one of them gets injured

Good Question. And probably at least a 30% probability.

If Fouss were a stronger defensive 5, I'd agree. Fouss is strong, but for a D1 big is a pretty average athlete.

And if Fouss was an above the rim threat he would be a better fit in the offense

Always good to get the Ute copium perspective

Keita was probably the 4th best player on Utah last year; losing him is a big punch to them

The value of skillsets is often contextual.

Fair enough, as an FYI here is my background

krindorr

None of those guys you mention can do what Keita does at center.

Jul 12, 12:14pm

Oh, there's no doubt he's a good add

krindorr

Jul 12, 12:32pm

Their games are different, so I have no idea how this will play out

Fous will score more points, part of the reason he likely won't start

stansburycoug

Fous is a far better offensive player, Keita is a far better defensive player.
