I'd want someone with a better all around game who wasn't just a low post guy
We have a lot of bigs is want before Plaisted, ie Mike Smith, Cosic, Bradley etc

Too slow for the style KY wants to play

Bradley wasn’t slow in college. He was like Wemby. I think his game would’ve

Meh…having someone that is 7’6 on this team would be pretty epic, even if it took an extra 2 seconds to start sets.

SB elite rim protector; 5.2 bpg his frosh yr& 14.6 ppg. KY woulda loved him!

Bradley was actually pretty athletic.

He was. Just didn't look as much in the NBA

You might have his Dallas version in mind too much. He wasn't just slowed by age, but by multiple chronic injuries.

Yes he was. Excellent golfer and baseball player. Modern stats tell us he was very underrated in NBA.

Having him protect the rim changes everything. Guys could completely sell out on

Jimmer, duh.

Nope. Jimmer needs a team willing to subordinate their own offensive games.

Danny Ainge. Jimmer would be the next choice. Then Shawn Bradley.

His gimpy knees affected his lateral quickness on D but his bball IQ imo...

He'd certainly give us something — but we got parity covering that basic spot. Catchings, Demin, Richie, Knell, Mag.

Jimmer, partly for Jimmer-mania

On THIS team — I'd rather have Keba. MUCH more athletic, probably AS strong — & his standing reach has gotta be better

Hoffa was

Height is only half the story. Fouss & Keba's arms are both much longer than Hoffa's.
SinkingQuffa
9/18/24 12:55am
If playing ability worked on 40 times and arm lengths

9/18/24 1:03am
Hoffa was good, but defensively, Keba has much more upside. Hoffa's draft rank was a huge mistake.

Araujo wouldn't go in the 2nd round today. And shoulda fell outa the 2nd round even in his day.

I’ll tell you what

Amen. Believe it or not, I LOVED Araujo as a player. He was very entertaining & a great competitor & hard worker.

Araujo was clearly not NBA material. Played in just over 100 games, 19 min. per

If we didn't have offensive talent elsewhere, I'd probably take Araujo over Keba. I'd take him over Fouss either way,

How about putting the ball in the basket and rebounding.

Hoffa was a very good college player. Who was not long or athletic enough for the NBA.

Easy answer for me. Kresimir Cosic

9/18/24 12:10am
I think Egor's much closer to him than any of our guards are to Ainge.

9/18/24 12:42am
BINGO!!!

This has to be the answer. We're pretty loaded 1-4.

Yoeli Childs or Brandon Davies
Remigius
9/18/24 12:37am
Ainge then Bradley. And it's a pretty big drop-off after that, imo — but still PLENTY of guys who'd improve our team.
SinkingQuffa
9/18/24 12:49am
People forget Ainge was a top defender as well as scorer

Roland Minson… next question

Jimmy Balderson would be a fun add to this team

You think he'd even play?

9/18/24 5:16am
Even if just a joke, I got mad respect for Jimmy. His ball-handling as an off guard really helped us out his Jr-Sr yrs.

Krešimir Ćosić Just to see him play. Same 4 Ainge and then Jimmer who is my fav

I’ll take Jackson Emery on any BYU squad

While this is true, I do like that we have guys like Richie & Mag in the mix this season (& Trey too if we need him).
SinkingQuffa
9/18/24 7:24am
Also true, but none are Jackson

I really hope Mag can find a connection on offense w Dallin or Egor. If he can be an effective slasher for us

Kresimir Cosic. Don't see a close alternative. Bradley and Ainge would be distant next up.

From recent teams probably Matt Haarms or TJ Haws
