BYU Basketball 2016-2017

[Jeff Lebowski]

Just so I'm clear on whom to root for, who is taking the under and betting against this fine young man's success?

GM is! Can you believe it?

[Joe Public]

He's a good perimeter defender and can handle the ball...

I like the sound of that.

10 ppg o/u. Dude takes over, GM the under? hmm...OK, I'm going to handicap this. Doing analysis now...

The dude stealing candy from a baby.

He won't have near the usage rate at BYU that he did at Elon. So he'll have to score more efficiently if he's going to match his 14+ per game at Elon. I could see him averaging under 10ppg, but I think he'll be closer to 11 or 12.

[jay santos]

OK, this was tough to call. I'm going to go:

Emery 20
Haws 14
Bryant 11
Davis 9
Mika 12
Chatman 7
Kaufusi 5
Childs 5
Other Bigs 1
Total 84

Advantage: Lebowski

[KillerDog]

So you think Childs' natural position in Rose's offense would be the 3? That should help allay the concerns from this article that claimed we have no natural 3's on the roster for next year:

All joking aside, I think Yoeli will need to change his body but will be a 3 in college. He probably begins as a 4 if he can't get his body right.

Phew!

I think 10 is a good guess. I could see it going either way.

You're looking at it the wrong way. I've just set up a win-win situation. If he goes 10+, my favorite team got a sophomore guard who averages double digits. If he goes10-, I get a delectable sampler pack. #winning

Win-win for you maybe, unless you're going to share your bounty, I'm definitely on Team Lebowski.

I am going all-in, baby. The high scoring and the BBQ sampler kit!

2 pages to get caught up and I am dumber for it. Shame on me.

That said, KD playing off the bounce? Playing stretch 4? Mourning for Corbin because he had NBA prospects? I also hope we don't see much of Chatman next year. He's a decent perimeter defender and can hit the occasional spot up 3, but that is it. Whoever said that the discussion about who plays the 3 next year is overblown is exactly right. Next year will be a 3 guard lineup just like this year. Bryant will play KC's role and will switch with Emery on defense when they go man and will play up top when they go 1-3-1. The backcourt will be Bryant, Emery and Haws. I expect Davis will start because he is a senior but I am hoping Yoeli takes that position over eventually. Mika will start in the middle. I fully expect BYU to try and add another guard via grad transfer or perhaps someone who is a natural wing.

but are you taking the over or the under?

[Surfah]

Over. 10 was too low. You should have set it to 13 to give anyone pause.

I just don't see him getting the minutes to average 13. But, if there's an injury or an unexpected redshirt, maybe.
