Wing position

I like the variation we have in our three wing players. They all three have distinctly different game.

Haws: Not quite as athletic as I thought he'd be, based on the various descriptions of his game. Very mature game for a freshman. A step slower than Rose would like at his position to guard on the perimeter. Quick release on his jumper. Bright future as a Coug.

Abuou: Fennis Dembo in the making. Brute strength. Can get to the rim. Only an adequate perimeter shuffler but aggressiveness and hustle cause problems. Weakness: outside shot/ball handling

Emery: ridiculous defensive energy level. Will knock down the open J on offense. Great in transition. Weakness: driving to the basket.

I'd prefer Morgan only play backup minutes to Jimmer at the point and give all the wing minutes to these three.

I don't get why Emery is so bad going to the rim. Any bump seems to send him flying. I think he expects to get to the rim without contact.

He went to the Tony Parker Lay-up Drill Academy but got a "D" in "Finishing the Play 101".

Calling Abuou, Fennis Dembo in the making is very, very, generous. He'll never be Dembo, but if he can get BYU about 10 and 6 his junior and senior seasons, he will be a success.

If he gets 28 minutes a game this year, he'll go 10 and 6 this season. If he gets a jump shot down and continues to improve, he'll be Fennis Dembo territory. He's by far the most improved player on the team this season.

I hope you're right, obviously. Dembo was a great college player. If Chuck gets 10 and 6 this year, I'll be shocked. But again, I like your optimism.

For the two exhibition games he's averaged 7.5 and 3.5 in 15 minutes. In the blue-white game he went 16 and 4 playing the whole game.

He'll probably never be a Dembo. And he might not play inside enough to average 6 reb's a game, but he's close to that.

His ceiling is probably Mike Hall. I expect him to be a 14 point 5-6 rebound guy his junior/senior season.
