Love Ty and Jimmer. Young and McMahon at least come ahead of him. Possibly 2 to 5 others.

Regarding Jimmer, he was an important figure in BYU BB history but he was made great by a combination of his own talent and high character, remarkably talented teammates who were uniquely humble and willing to subordinate their own scoring gifts for the good of the team, and Coach Rose's free reign philosophy.

Couldn't have been done without Jimmer's talent and likeability. Couldn't have been done elsewhere. Nice to see him have a great D league start.

thanks.

I'd go Smith over Bradley. Bradley only played 1 year.

fredgarvin

12/1/15 1:44pm

Certainly had the better overall career numbers, but did he go as deep in the

Neither got past the second round of the tournament.

fredgarvin

Bradley doesn't belong there IMO - only played 1 year

FiveTen-BuckEighty

12/1/15 1:45pm

May want to consider a 2nd all time team. I would include Toolson, Haws, Araujo

MajorZeus

12/1/15 1:45pm

Seems premature to put Toolson in that mix, although he played well last game

4mack

funny

fulano

12/1/15 1:56pm

Araujo? Really? I'd like to hear that argument

12/1/15 1:53pm

I'll go with same except put Travis Hansen at the 3.

thebruce

12/1/15 1:46pm

Over KC? I wouldn't. At the college level KC does everything better except shoot

mantis mutu

12/1/15 2:39pm

Travis was a much, much better defender IMO

thebruce

12/1/15 2:54pm

Calling KC the much better "shooter" was an obvious brain poop on my part

mantis mutu

12/1/15 2:57pm

In a lineup of jimmer and ainge do you want KC handling the ball?

thebruce

I honestly think Travis's D was always a bit over-rated. I thought he used his

Good discussion. The thing that made Travis

I'd go Smith over KC at SF. or put him at PF, moving Cosic to C

smokymountainrain

I thought about Cosic over Bradley at Center... But i like that rim protection.

buckeyecougarguy

12/1/15 1:49pm

Bradley averaged over 5 blocks per game. Next were Kite, Hartsock <1.86

buckeyecougarguy

12/1/15 1:57pm

Smith wasn't a SF. He was a PF/C.

fredgarvin

12/1/15 1:53pm

Smith could play all three positions and did play all three.

smokymountainrain

12/1/15 2:23pm

Agree, but still, calling him a small forward at BYU would be a stretch.

fredgarvin

12/1/15 2:35pm

And I agree with that. I just need him on the team - and if that means

smokymountainrain

12/1/15 2:39pm

Fair enough. He's first-team for sure.

fredgarvin

No Jimmy Balderson????

mobomanjoe

also tempted by James Anderson- the highest winning percentage of any byu player

Best all-time scrub?

mantis mutu

12/1/15 2:42pm

What about Araujo? I was on my mission when he played, but heard RAVE reviews

WhiteKnight

12/1/15 1:54pm

I was on my mission too. I think he makes the second team.

buckeyecougarguy

12/1/15 1:57pm

Devin Durrant should get a look on that list.

Iman23

12/1/15 1:58pm

I think Durrant and Haws are on my next man out. I think theres a difference in

buckeyecougarguy

12/1/15 2:12pm

Jimmer, Ainge, Durrant, Smith, Cosic

fredgarvin

12/1/15 2:00pm

Mostly agree. However, Haws should be there some place - probably 2nd team

Zenoch

12/1/15 2:05pm

Yeah, you're probably right. Should have put Haws over Chatman or Hansen.

Fred Roberts had a long career in the NBA and was a great BYU player

1. Cosic, 2. Ainge, 3. Bradley, 4. Hutchins, 5. Collinsworth.

No Jimmer? Do you work for the Bulls, Spurs, Pelicans or Kings?

buckeyecougarguy

12/1/15 2:35pm

No kidding. Jimmer is to the bball program what Ty was to football.

UNLVcougar

12/1/15 2:42pm

Ty definitely wouldn't be my all time QB either, though. Not even backup.

mantis mutu

Love Ty and Jimmer. Young and McMahon at least come ahead of him. Possibly 2 to 5 others.

You can't leave off the POY.

For as one-way & blackhole of a player as Jimmer was--you can, I think.

mantis mutu

He did shoot poorly in the Sweet 16 game.

roseyscenario

12/1/15 4:35pm

That calf injury really effected the lift on his jumper, I think. It's too bad.

Yeah because he was completely exhausted. And even then he was still scoring. I think that saying that KC kept them in

They definitely didn't make Jimmer--but they did all the dirty work VERY well.

Good thought. I'd take Russell Larson over Bradley, though. So long as we

Except that Larson was one of the biggest chokers in byu bball history. Guy couldn't be counted on when it mattered.

It was a sad ending for him. Knew his lil bro. He didn't like playing for Reid.
