Okay here are two quick examples with substance from the most recent game

#1-Emery hustled in from across the lane to take a charge, then pumps the fists after getting the call.

#2-Emery reaches across and slaps the bball out of a Belmont players hands and off of his leg, leading to a steal, then gets out on the wing on the fast break when he sees another BYU player will recover the ball.

Are those substantive enough?

Belmont was supposed to be pretty good competition.

Meh. I want see how he does against good athletic teams.

Belmont is a far better team than people give them credit for.

So far he is as good as advertised. Like Gerald said he needs

I agree, but Belmont is no slouch, IMO

True. One crazy thing about Emery's impact is that you can tell

The team needed to figure out who they could lean on, and I think

At this point TNT prefers Emery to Chase. If Chase isn't hitting his 3s

Emery is the only player with the ability & desire to play defense... for that

I was impressed with Seljaas at the Valley State game.

Seljaas is another player I like to watch.

This is true. He isn't very athletic, but he moves well enough to

Time will tell but is he a defensive liability?

MajorZeus

11/30/15 2:47pm

Are you serious? He's one of our best defenders...

Epileptic Beagle

11/30/15 2:47pm

I'm serious because he's only played in 4 games. If no liability, why not?

MajorZeus

11/30/15 2:53pm

Have you watched any games this year?

Epileptic Beagle

Take the example of thebruce and provide substance not just a snarky response

I like his high effort and it does show. Hate to compare to Jimmer, but this

He actually reminds me of a frosh Jackson Emery on D.

One word....Jackson

FatherOFive

11/30/15 3:20pm

He dominated the high school ranks, and doesn't show any signs of taking a step

11/30/15 2:57pm

He dominated the HS ranks....on a NATIONAL level

Emery could be Jimmer, but we won't need him to be.

The fact he's scoring this much this early is scary

Emery is the best freshman player in recent memory for me. It is the all around

He's more impressive as a frosh than even Jimmer was.

Jimmer was good as a freshman. The problem was is he had a senior in front of

So why isn't Rose starting him at PG? Is this a senior loyalty thing to KC? Rose

That senior just logged 10 assists. Not just senior loyalty. KC is still most

His glaring weakness is definitely his outside jump shot

Lebron and Garnett are 2 of the top active career assist men...are they PGs?

Do you think KC would be anywhere near as effective playing off the ball?

Epileptic Beagle

12/1/15 10:59am

I do. He can still be core of offense, but let him move without the ball. A good

Agreed. KC is clearly not a conventional PG, but it is just as clear that he is

true that! Emery is the real deal and living up to the hype.
