There have been so many changes, I forgot that AAA left.

AfterShocks

3:21pm

How do you play Egor Demin as a PG with his height and that lineup? Seems like a misuse of remaining resources

Bob Vance

3:26pm

Egor will be a primary ball handler and play off ball on O in 5 out; will guard 1-4 on D

mjmill

3:32pm

He’s talking offense…he’ll probably defend up

PHXSUNS31

3:33pm

They need a couple of 6'8" 3 and D guys.

Thrill

3:27pm

Isn't there a really good defender in the portal that came to BYU. Someone from

Cougar TD

3:29pm

He's D but no 3 I think. He'd be fine but he's not a good shooter iirc.

pinolero

3:34pm

That's fine by me. He had been tagged as an elite defender. I would take that

Cougar TD

3:40pm

I agree on 4/5 starters. Why Keita over Fouss?

pinolero

3:27pm

I think Keita fits what KY wants to do better

mjmill

3:33pm

Maybe longer term, but that doesn’t mean he starts over Fous next year.

3 scholly left I think. Hopefully Jaxon, another big and a good defender.

Or, iow, he's got 16 years to work with to get 6 tourney wins total — & be our new GOAT.

SinkingQuffa

Another exciting thing about him is I don’t think he’ll ever leave on his own

Yes. But, probably got better after he left.... as donors saw a need to reclaim

Pope spoke about it often...maybe he was the catalyst to get the ball rolling before he left. I dunno

We're only really 4 out. Fouss or Keita have to be inside no?

It's called 4.5 out offense. NBA teams run it.
