He's the Carlos Boozer of the Cougars

A very good play on the offensive side, good rebounder, but bad defender. It's like Carlos Boozer. You look at the stat sheet and it looks very good. But at the same time, you know he isn't making your team all that much better.

I can't recall seeing anyone thinking he'd be more than a 13 and 9 guy for us

low bball IQ. He is better than what we had last year though---

Losing. Great numbers in losses don't do much for fans. see Carmelo Anthony

Al Jefferson too.

thebruce

Not sure which Al Jefferson you're referring to. He averages ~1 per game.

Big Al w/ Jazz was around 2 blocks per game.

That is irrelevant to the post.

Shteve

Very relevant to the post

thebruce

Then reference you are referring to a small % of his career

Shteve

Well since most on the board only remember him from his time with the jazz

If you look at defensive win shares, defensive rating, and defensive box +/-

Where do you find all of these stats for college bball?

and KC is the Andrei Kirilenko: stat stuffer who can't shoot/lead/carry a team.

On a team as disappointing as BYU has been, just about everybody will have a

From what I've seen, Davis has been one of CB's favorite whipping boys almost

The missed dunk, missed pass that hit him in the chest, missed FT's, lane

And yet he's our most consistent big

agreed, just saying that there were big mishaps last game. BIG ones.

BYUheaven

He is much more effective when being guarded by a small slow big...

CB likes power, not finesse.

BYUCPA

2/9/16 8:46am

The fact that he's been the 2nd best player on this team is why people don't

jreid191

2/9/16 9:01am

I think Chase Fischer has probably been the second best player.

thebruce

2/9/16 9:05am

And Emery probably the 3rd. Though Emery has been wildly inconsistent.

Lance71

When Emery is at his best he is up there

you wanna talk low basketball IQ

I think there's a difference between low bball IQ and figuring out the college

CougarBreath

Offensively Fischer has been better. Defensively Davis has been better

The one scary part of Kyle Davis' advanced stats to me is

thebruce

2/9/16 9:13am

Oops I was looking at someone else's TOV%

thebruce

2/9/16 9:17am

You definitely want someone better than both Davis and Fischer to be your #2 guy

jreid191

2/9/16 9:21am

Collinsworth, Austin, Kaufusi, Chatman, and Aytes all have a higher TOV%

He's our only inside game offensively, His inside work has opened up the 3's

LasVegasBlue

I agree with the first part---unfortunately the second part is still a problem.

thebruce

2/9/16 10:58am

Honestly, I think for some his slow down and pound the ball game is frustrating

BYUfan92

2/9/16 10:56am

...yes, plus he's very sloppy w/ the ball both w/ passes and catching it.

If he were to pass it back out when doubled

Not neccessarily a reason to bag on Davis, but at this point his FT shooting

Never seen big guys miss so many layups and short hooks or jumpers. Our bigs seem to rush every inside
