Jimmer got 18mins / game as a frosh. Emery is getting 30.

2/7/16 12:06pm

Who do you think should be getting Nick's minutes?

rggee

2/7/16 12:11pm

Ben Murdock.

byubyu

2/7/16 12:12pm

Dunno. But hes not good enough yet to get that

2/7/16 12:13pm

Good grief, he's a 4 star athlete. They start for good teams all the time

runnincoug

2/7/16 12:15pm

Who else offered him a schollie?

2/7/16 12:59pm

He didn't have a ton of offers because he commited to BYU so early but the kid

ayfan

It's not Emery's fault he's forced into this role; blame lack of depth.

Tequila Mockingbird

2/7/16 12:18pm

I agree. That's the problem.

2/7/16 12:19pm

Not really a comment on him. A comment on the team.

2/7/16 12:21pm

Fair enough. Ignore my follow up comment then.

Tequila Mockingbird

2/7/16 12:23pm

So blame the coaches or the guys that transferred.

Tequila Mockingbird

2/7/16 12:22pm

This is true, we don't really have an option. I was hoping Chatman

Born2Fish

2/7/16 12:23pm

Exactly. Emery is our best option because we have no one else.

Tequila Mockingbird

2/7/16 12:28pm

Chapman = better defense, less mistakes but less offense. He should get more min

2/7/16 1:31pm

Less mistakes??? I don't think so

davidnairn

2/7/16 1:44pm

He gets sat w/ every mistake. Emery jacks up shots that are equivalent of turn

2/7/16 2:09pm

Some truth to this

Born2Fish

2/7/16 4:06pm

Because Rose's philosophy is offense first and then defense.

BBarton

2/7/16 4:50pm

I can agree with that.

davidnairn

2/7/16 6:56pm

1 steal in 199 min played is bizarre

blucoug18

2/7/16 2:01pm

He is NOT a better defender. Say what you will about Emery, but he is a good

currentbyustudent

2/7/16 4:01pm

Emery is a first class defender. Chapman is not better in that regard. I'd also

Chatman could be the new Ben Murdock

icecougar

2/7/16 10:13pm

This team is much, much younger that Jimmer's freshman team.

Vegas Katbacker

2/7/16 1:53pm

I think he is good enough. Shooting slump is all.

2/7/16 7:12pm

Toolson leaving set the stage

blucoug18

2/7/16 1:58pm

crickets

kiyoshige

2/7/16 7:56pm

He's a 20 yo freshman, that hasn't learned

cougarfuzz

2/7/16 9:06pm

Chatman or Seljaas - He just needs to be yanked after his more boneheaded shots

2/7/16 9:33pm

Nick is quicker & a better defender than a Frosh Jimmer.

mantis mutu

2/7/16 12:21pm

Little known fact: Jimmer had more steals than Jackson entering their JR season

SpiffCoug

2/7/16 12:36pm

Jimmer's D early on was quite scrappy, it's true--but he had a problem

mantis mutu

2/7/16 12:42pm

Nick is a better defender right now then Jimmer.

Jimmer was 18. Emery is nearly 21. Jimmer accepted his role and didn't force it.

cougarfuzz

Jimmer was under utilized his first two years

Left Shark Coug

2/7/16 12:27pm

I remember watching him against Utah his Soph year...

2/7/16 12:37pm

who was it on SDSU his SO year that said it was impossible after he dropped 27

SpiffCoug

2/7/16 1:15pm

Lorenzo Wade iirc

concolor couguar

2/7/16 1:22pm

With Nick on the floor nobody is safe either.

Zaphod

2/7/16 12:38pm

I think Rose regrets not playing Jimmer more as a Frosh

Hinta

2/7/16 12:41pm

If that's a knock on Rose it's more valid for underplaying Jimmer than

ledfoot

2/7/16 12:41pm

Not much choice this year unless you would like to see some of his minutes go to

ledfoot

2/7/16 12:44pm

Chatman. He has had some pretty rough times as well. Doesn't mean...

ledfoot

2/7/16 12:47pm

Jimmer was the last freshman he tried to bring along slowly

Remigius

2/7/16 4:16pm

These decisions aren't made in a vacuum

wapiti

2/7/16 1:11pm

Elephant in the room here is that Emery wants to be Jimmer.

cougarfuzz

2/7/16 1:31pm

There needs to more accountability for Emery's selfish play.

2/7/16 1:33pm

Hopefully that changes when

davidnairn

2/7/16 1:46pm

That's seriously his excuse? C'mon, that's pathetic.

2/7/16 2:10pm

that's on coaching as much as the kid

blucoug18

2/7/16 2:10pm

Beo didn't turn down an offer from UW, thats a myth.

cougarnw

2/7/16 3:13pm

some say it will help him next year, other says it will hurt him

capo

2/7/16 3:19pm

We really need a guy who can create a shot, though. KC's good--

mantis mutu

2/7/16 6:38pm

I don't. Nick should play his game, not Jimmers.

2/7/16 2:25pm

Make sense that he has probably hit "the wall". No legs in his jump shot lately.

TheLoneCougar

2/7/16 8:38pm

This is a good thing. This team isn't going anywhere most likely.
