steals. He's lucky he didn't foul out more, especially in the whistle-happy WCC.

But agree that he has the ability on defense, and the effort is there. If BYU had a defensive coach, I think he could become a very good defender.

He already limited his shot selection last year

Indy Coug

He still shot the second most shots on the entire team

52Cougar

I'm not sure what your point is

Indy Coug

Who should have shot more? TJ?

He got off to a rough start but adjusted his game and shifted his focus once...

Not aware of the family dynamic but believe Nick already works pretty hard at defense.

he is one that put forth more effort this year vs last in his defense.

I agree he plays tough defense, but is he happy with the direction of the

What a wierd post. Nick's defensive problems are not effort or skill.

I'm just saying that a change in defensive philosophy may also signal a change

A POSSIBLE switch in one thing MAY cause a shift in another which MAY affect a

I would love to see the stats of nick on catch and shoot 3's vs. off the dribble

you may be right but it's hard to be a off the ball guy at 6'

Also add that he is sometimes too over agressive looking for steals allowing

And he was sagging down to help for a good reason.

He didn't do well in the zone.

Is there anything credible about Schroyer or is that just CB banter?

mudpupper

4/20/17 1:51pm

Seems to be a lot of assumptions and leaps of logic in this post

jreid191

I'm not sure where the Schroyer thing has any legs, and Emery would not

I think Nick clearly displayed that, when he wants to, he can play some pretty

Please further explain how the Heath Schroyer thing has any legs whatsoever

idacoug

4/20/17 2:08pm

I think it's very unlikely he would come back as an assistant

ManicBlue

Head coach at NC state where Schoyer is just got fired, Heath is looking for job

52Cougar

4/20/17 2:16pm

and? I just don't think it's very likely his next job is an assistant at BYU.

ManicBlue

4/20/17 2:21pm

I actually think it is likely....I am just not seeing any legs or even rumors

Defensive effort not a problem for Emery

Even with a diminished role, I would be shocked if he transferred.

Where did you hear talk that BYU was going to re-hire Heath Shroyer? Did that...

Dick Harmon implied it in his column this week

maybe a case of wishful thinking on someone's part?

Emery plays better defense than the rest of the guards.
