No Cosic?

Yoeli was a stud but isn’t close to Cosic.

actually I'm not so sure.

Beetdiggercoug

I agree...and Cosic was a buddy of mine.

84 natlchamps

Right, Cosic belongs in this 5

WallaX2

5/10/22 8:20am

Probably "recency" bias. OP may not know who Cosic is. He played a long time ago

Hoopster

I'm not old enough to have seen him play either...but I know who he is.

Same with jimmer as goat... he's not, it's Danny ainge.

runnincoug

5/10/22 9:33am

He didn’t score like Jimmer. He might be the GOAT, but he didn’t score like Jimm

Ainge would have been the all time scoring leader if he had a 3 point line.

BYUCPA

5/10/22 10:56am

Plus great defense. Recent bias says jimmer

Acorn

5/10/22 2:48pm

Uh. Wrong. Danny Ainge. Scoring was better than Jimmers let alone other metrics.

WOW. This 100% convinced me. I used to think it was debatable but it’s not. I

Ainge was a two-sport professional athlete. Extremely few players can claim this

(Private)

5/10/22 1:54pm

Ainge is no longer top 2 in career points, assists, or steals.

j20

5/10/22 2:42pm

Good point. However the comparison was between Jimmer and Ainge.

It took Jimmer 21 more games to get more points. Not to mention

Apparently you didn’t even read the post you’re replying to?

Coug-Ida

Ainge was surrounded by NBA talent. Fred Roberts, Greg Kite. I'll take Jimmer

hitechcpa

Good point...and I thought that the Jimmer was all world, but I think I will

Congdon and Nemelka were fantastic players.

Oldcougfan

5/10/22 3:55pm

Heck, what about Bernie Fryer? He had a long NBA career.:) Or Dick Nemelka

basman

5/10/22 8:23am

Cosic is definitely Top 5 in BYU history.

WJCougar

5/10/22 8:24am

But Bernie did have a long NBA history, as an official.:) He was director of

I would put Cosic above Bradley.

Or Durant, Roberts

diabloguero

5/10/22 10:27am

Davies instead of Bradley

(Private)

Bradley was a force in college. Maybe not so much in the NBA, but he was the

BYUMizzou

5/10/22 8:28am

Maybe but does one year at BYU qualify you for the all-time starting 5?

ManicBlue

5/10/22 9:54am

Bradley is the only BYU player that’s been one and done. That should tell you Bradley belongs on the starting 5.

SierraCoug

5/10/22 10:01am

Yeah ... no

ManicBlue

5/10/22 10:02am

Depends on what your criteria for "all time starting 5" is. The best individual

BYUMizzou

5/10/22 10:02am

Nope ... you'd better read up on Cosic first.

ManicBlue

5/10/22 10:29am

I think he is including Cosic at the 4. I would

Devin Durrant? Do you even know your own teams history?

Utefaninenemyland

5/10/22 9:01am

Trouble is guys who start these treads are too young to have seen

Oldcougfan

5/10/22 10:16am

I would agree to an extent, but Cosic was before my time as was Billy the Hill.

Utefaninenemyland

5/10/22 11:01am

My dad was at the U during those years (He is a BYU fan but a Utah Man)

Leishdoggydog

5/10/22 3:11pm

Cosic, Davies, Araujo, Hutchins, Roberts, Kite, Durrant and so many others.

Mabuhay Coug

5/10/22 9:46am

Ainge, Jimmer, and Cosic are No Brainers...

I like Fred Roberts as my PF.

Rocketman

5/10/22 12:47pm

Of those 5, Ainge would serve as the best PG.

SinkingQuffa

5/10/22 1:38pm

This brings me to a point of contention.

Ainge Toolson - guards

To make an all-time Top 5, you CAN NOT be a one-way player

Mike Smith was a defensive liability?

(Private)

5/10/22 3:51pm

Absolutely. He got by in college. Completely exposed in the NBA.

Jimmer won every major award, it doesn’t matter how bad his defense was, he’s in

robin

OK-2nd five. Then the 1st five plays the 2nd five and Ainge shuts him down hard.

BYUDM93

5/10/22 8:04pm

Nice try but maybe you should say recent best 5- otherwise waaaay off
