BYU the new PG U?

[DU Ute]

BYU is churning out elite college point guards year and year and the numbers don't lie.

Link?

Sorry but compared to the point guards at BYU, Andre Miller would not even see the floor.

Matt Montague averaged more assists per game than Miller.
Jimmer was better than Jimmer in every category.
Matt Carlinos freshman year has been better than Millers senior year.

Andre Miller is on par with 2nd tier BYU point guards like Austin Ainge and Luiz Lemes. Still better than most NCAA PGs but not in the same class as the elites.

Miller was a consensus All American and Conference player of the year his senior season. How many BYU PGs have done that? I'm sure we can count on Carlino making the cut this year.

BYU has point guards that were not only conference players of the year (That is easy we have non-point guards that have done that multiple times) but National player of the year something MIller never did.

err...well byu had all of that and more as recently as last season. odd argument to make.

Ainge and Jimmer with not much in between. Can we change the title of this thread to BYU: Due for another great point guard in 2040?

Only two of those big men in the last 50 years have as many rebounds in the NBA as Andre Miller!

If BYU was an NBA team I would care even a little bit about these bits of trivia you've shared.

Not an odd counter to a claim that Miller would start behind Montague and Carlino.

Please come back to this thread when you have even one PG that is on par with those two.

Thanks in advance.

Now back to what this thread is about.

Ainge consensus NPOY
Jimmer consensus NPOY
Carlino is well on his way

I would like to nominate Cory Calvert as the next great PG at PGU. 28 a game right now in high school, has great ball handling skills, good shooter. I think he will take the reins from Carlino.

Sounds like the next Jake Heaps

Looks like ESPN has dubbed Nick Emery the next great one.

How many Ute point guards have ESPN articles about them while they are juniors in high school?

Also look at the quote from LP coach Quincy Lewis: "If they can get Jabari Parker they want Nick to stay a year and play with him before going on a mission".

Sounds like Dave Rose likes his chances.

You are really bad at this.

That doesn't make it any less enjoyable. Or Andre Miller any less awesome.

First of all how do you "start" behind Montague and Carlino? Also the stats don't lie Carlino is better and it is not even close.
