What one player from BYU’s past teams

Archaea

Shawn Bradley

Too slow for the style KY wants to play

Archaea

Sep 17, 11:52pm

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.

cougarfanatic

Sep 18, 12:02am

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

Sep 18, 12:30am

Bradley was actually pretty athletic.

JoeExotic

Sep 18, 5:56am

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

TNT

Sep 18, 6:58am

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

SinkingQuffa

Sep 18, 7:05am

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

roseyscenario

Sep 18, 10:12am

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

byubyu

Sep 18, 6:39am

Jimmer, duh.

mulletino

Sep 17, 11:56pm

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

roseyscenario

Sep 18, 10:39am

Ainge

ManicBlue

Sep 17, 11:57pm

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

Michael Smith

CocaColaRecovery

Sep 18, 12:03am

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

icecougar

Sep 18, 12:15am

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

SinkingQuffa

Sep 18, 12:46am

Jimmer, partly for Jimmer-mania

Ol Big Bear

Sep 18, 12:07am

Easy

Sep 18, 12:09am

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

SinkingQuffa

Sep 18, 12:39am

Hoffa was

gurt

Sep 18, 12:54am

Height is only half the story. Fouss & Keba's arms are both much longer than Hoffa's.

SinkingQuffa

Sep 18, 12:55am

If playing ability worked on 40 times and arm lengths

gurt

Sep 18, 1:03am

Hoffa was good, but defensively, Keba has much more upside. Hoffa's draft rank was a huge mistake.

SinkingQuffa

Sep 18, 1:10am

Your comparing a guy who

Sep 18, 1:20am

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

SinkingQuffa

Sep 18, 1:57am

I’ll tell you what

gurt

Sep 18, 2:02am

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

SinkingQuffa

Sep 18, 5:01am

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

NYC and Japan

Sep 18, 6:50am

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

SinkingQuffa

Sep 18, 7:12am

How about putting the ball in the basket and rebounding.

ledfoot

Sep 18, 2:56am

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

SinkingQuffa

*Rafa

Belboz

Sep 18, 8:34am

Easy answer for me. Kresimir Cosic

osbooks

Sep 18, 12:10am

I think Egor's much closer to him than any of our guards are to Ainge.

SinkingQuffa

Sep 18, 12:42am

Cosic at the 5. He was 6’11”.

Cougarbib

Sep 18, 7:15am

I'll have to admit — he & Egor together just might amount to a cheat code to a championship.

SinkingQuffa

Sep 18, 7:20am

Yep, put Cosic on this team and they’re going undefeated

AF Cougar

Sep 18, 8:00pm

Grew up as a PG. 6'0" in HS. He had the heart of a PG. He would be greatest of rock star athletes, as he was in Europe.

roseyscenario

BINGO!!!

Sep 18, 10:30am

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

James Tiberius Fredette

Cougs4Lfe

Sep 18, 12:17am

I'd want someone with a better all around game who wasn't just a low post guy

icecougar

Sep 18, 12:18am

Yoeli Childs or Brandon Davies

Remigius

Sep 18, 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

Sep 18, 12:49am

People forget Ainge was a top defender as well as scorer

Fdnman

Sep 18, 6:12am

Roland Minson… next question

Veep

Sep 18, 1:48am

Jimmy Balderson would be a fun add to this team

ForzaPuma

Sep 18, 3:57am

You think he'd even play?

SinkingQuffa

Sep 18, 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.

SinkingQuffa

Sep 18, 4:09pm

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

cajuncoug

Sep 18, 7:19am

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

Sep 18, 7:24am

Also true, but none are Jackson

cajuncoug

Sep 18, 7:34am

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

Now that meanie Pope's gone, what would be the hangup?

SinkingQuffa

Sep 18, 11:48am

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

roseyscenario

Sep 18, 10:38am

From recent teams probably Matt Haarms or TJ Haws

JoeExotic

This is tough - how would an all BYU team compete against todays team?

Rafa and Plaisted on an all-time team?! Nope

palangi

Sep 18, 12:52pm

Childs, Bradley who else as possibility?

I would go with Davies over Childs. Haarms too
