I think it all depends on what your ultimate goal is. If you think you have a legitimate shot at pro ball, yes, sitting on the bench would suck.

If you realize that you're just a step below that, I'd much rather play a ton of ball in practices, get all the extra benefits that come with being a BYU basketball player, get paid to get a BYU degree than to be a starter at the Big Sky level.

It's funny that you mention Tanner and Jake Toolson. One was borderline NBA talent and one was borderline college talent.

You can't tell me that even Brody Kozlowski doesn't see and realize the difference at this point in time between him and Kanon.
