I didn't realize it, but my list spaces things out nicely over several eras IMO.

Definitely Hutchins, he was a great NBA player and he lead the 1951 BYU team to

It was the most prestigious at the time.

Yeah, I’d basically count that as a National Championship team

Dynasty1

Definitely Hutchins. Smith would be the 5th.

Mel Hutchins and Wilt Chamberlain are the only rookies in NBA history to lead

He’s probably the most underrated BYU athlete ever considering his

Could have or would have?

Maybe a bit of both

12/13/19 8:35pm

He chose not to.

He captained his team to an Olympic gold medal, so I'd say there's pretty

12/13/19 7:11pm

He was offered a huge contract (for that era) by the Lakers

One always has to ask: BYU only or incl post BYU career?

Yohy

Career as a BYU player

Then Jimmer. He put a team of decent, not great players on his back to sweet 16

Yohy

12/13/19 6:02pm

There were 2 other NBA guys on that team (Davies, Collinsworth) not to

Dynasty1

12/13/19 6:08pm

Davies would have been nice but as you recall, he did not

Yohy

12/13/19 6:15pm

Jimmers great. But if postseason is the primary measurement,

12/13/19 7:09pm

Any of your top three listed.

If Bradley stuck around, he'd be near the top. What might of been.

You left Tavernari off the list?

Obviously no consensus.

As with many of these polls, would be interesting to see by age breakdown

D.T. Survivor

12/13/19 11:33pm

I was born in the late 80's but I'd probably put Jimmer 4th behind Ainge,

Dynasty1

12/13/19 11:38pm

Jimmer was the most exciting
