But there is no doubt that Davies was more athletic. There is a reason why teams double teamed him and not Hartsock.

BB team talent level

Do you honestly think this team is more talented than Jimmer's senior year?

He must be on the team now if he thinks that.

Good point. I was overwhelmed with the amount of things wrong in the OP.

Not as long as Davies was playing. Without him, yeah, I would say so.

He was actually listed at 6'8 in high school - and it wasn't a stretch.

Sorry but if i have high balled Corbin, this is way more on the low side!

Kaufusi has more potential than Davies? Ummm...no.

RichieRich

7/28/14 11:44am

Well he's a heck of a lot bigger & stronger. Too early to tell, either way.

Mantis Mutu

7/28/14 11:49am

By that logic, we may as well toss our O-line on the court.

RichieRich

7/28/14 11:52am

But the word "potential" was involved. Corbin certainly has a loooong way

Hartsock was a better athlete? LOL dude you really need to watch them both...

BengalCougar

Was EASILY stronger, & had a better vertical. Acrobatics is not athleticism.

Mantis Mutu

7/28/14 1:57pm

And was faster, quicker, more explosive, more coordinated, that is all....

BengalCougar

7/28/14 2:10pm

There was a reason why Davies couldn't man-up on the boards like Hartsock

Hartsock was more aggressive on the boards and was better....

Teams did not double-team Davies much his Jr. year.

Few of our bigs have had good dunking form, either. Davies was an exception.

Mantis Mutu

7/28/14 3:38pm

Davies gets good minutes in the NBA, Hartsock is coaching.

7/28/14 4:47pm

It's called skill.

Keep digging that hole.

I will. It's truth, bro.

It took a long time for Davies to Develop - He wasn't super good in HS

Austin will get 20+ minutes. Worst case, he is 6th man. He likely starts.

You're ignoring defense. That's what made Jimmer's senior year special.

Hartsock wasn't terrible? didn't he have like the most blocks in a season since

BYUALWAYSNUM1

True - I'm understating his post defense, which only reinforces my point.

I do agree that the defense that year was exceptional, especially considering

BYUALWAYSNUM1

For defensive purposes, Winder better play more than Fischer
