Nick is performing at a level that no other freshman has since Ainge.

Saying TJ or Mika is better is just plain silly right now. They have high potential---but it is crazy to expect someone like TJ to do this kind of stuff as a freshman next year.

Depends who you ask.

What sayest thou?

Nick and TJ aren't similar. Both are great.

bstod

2/13/16 4:07pm

Fair enough. I think that of the three, TJ has the most offensive potential (but

Certainly possible. Dastrup and Childs would likely start on every

Wouldn't any one of our starting five start on any WCC team other than gonzaga?

Tough to play with all those mission rules.

Maybe we're comparing teaching or baptizing stats.

I changed my mind on this topic weekly during their senior year.

I would argue that Mika is more valuable than both. Without a successful big man

I know Nick has been great, but it's not crazy to expect similar from TJ.

an assistant @ LP told me TJ was the best player ever to play

franklyvulgar

2/13/16 4:18pm

Yup. Mixed bag - I was an assistant at LP for 8 years and would say Nick.

bstod

You would know best but I always thought TJ made more impact than Nick. He can

Blueto

2/13/16 4:50pm

I thought TJ was the better prospect...

thebruce

2/13/16 4:56pm

I expect TJ to perform equally or better

cajuncoug

2/13/16 5:04pm

He will certainly make an instant impact offensively

If you're not impressed with Emery's D, I'd hate to see how the rest rate to you

bstod

2/13/16 5:09pm

What more do you think Nick can do on defense? Protect the rim?

Big Daddy D

2/13/16 6:23pm

Here are a few reasons why/things to look at

cajuncoug

2/13/16 6:44pm

LOL the church ball comment. I do like Chatman's defense.

Big Daddy D

2/13/16 7:03pm

I have seen many instances where Emery moved his feet and cut off a quick guard

SingleStrapBackpack

2/13/16 8:23pm

I certainly agree with part of that

cajuncoug

2/13/16 8:49pm

I expect that TJ will go over 30 in back to back games. Not sure when, but

AF Cougar

Mika was really good as a freshman himself

concolor couguar

2/13/16 4:43pm

Having Kaufusi and Dastrup to back-up Mika will be quite the luxury.......

beauso79

2/13/16 5:04pm

Hopefully CK doesn't give up basketball

concolor couguar

2/13/16 5:12pm

Nick is a good player, but he also has had some very weak moments

Archaea

2/13/16 5:57pm

I like to think of those as freshman moments

YIsForBrigham

2/13/16 5:58pm

I hope they are, but with Carlino they never went away.

Archaea

2/13/16 6:57pm

Nick will be much better than Carlino

Nick is reaching greater heights offensively than Mika, however

Geldir

2/13/16 8:11pm

Ummm i disagree.

thebruce

2/13/16 8:18pm

Mika plays a position which is difficult to find talent at. Nick is talented

Archaea

2/13/16 9:39pm

When do Mika and TJ get off their missions?

BYUJoJo

2/13/16 5:00pm

Highly debatable.

CougarBreath

2/13/16 7:03pm

Why is it scary for the WCC? The only team that has had more talent is Gonzaga.

JamesWestfall

2/13/16 8:23pm

Shots of making the NBA IMO: Mika > Haws (if he gains 30 lbs) > Emery

fredetteaboutit13

Perhaps 3 years ago that was the case, but that is highly debatable.
