Ainge is first because he is. Jimmer was good - Ainge was better.

Players who could consistently bring it - game after game. Big-time players, no matter the stage, no matter the opponent. Not one and done (2 games here, 1 game there). Consistently showing up and sometimes by force of will carrying BYU to a victory.

Wasn't old enough to see Cosic - just hear about him.

#5 is a grouping: Collinsworth, Travis Hansen, etc., many of the names mentioned above.

After Ainge left BYU, I had a chance to talk with Fred Roberts about why the team wasn't playing as well (he and Bruce Hardy - there's a name from the past - visited my school and we got to ask them questions). He said the team was still trying to figure out how to win consistently without Danny.
