Throwing the ball inside opens up opportunities for other players on the floor. It creates lanes. It creates mismatches if used in the pick and roll. It creates open shots if they cheat or double on Mika. Sorry, but without Mika BYU would have been awful last season.

Mika's tweet makes him sound serious. He'll likely end up in Europe. How much does Haws make out there?

Then he's gone. If he can make that right now in Europe, sounds like he's gone.
