10 years later and this is still the list. Is that right?

I swapped Jimmer and Ainge as well. I would also consider Cosic as #2. But

Jimmer was aided by a better supporting cast than Cosic had.

I think I swap Mike Smith for Bradley and then…

Jimmer #3. Bradley don't belong. Not close. He was very impactful as a Frosh.

Who do you replace Bradley with instead?

Schultz is back

6/8/23 7:51pm

A lot of very good players over the years. In the last 10 years: Tyler, KC & Yo.

Tyler Haws has more points than Jimmer. More complete player. IMHO

0.Are you talking Jackson Emery? Thought he was underrated.

No. Jax was a top-10 all-time defensive player, maybe. But not all-around, imo.

Tyler more complete than Jimmer? Hmmm…

Mike Smith.

Timo Saaralinan?

Brigham

Michael Smith, Mel Hutchins, or Dick Nemelka

Fred Roberts is another potential option

Maybe replace Bradley with another Center who was a McDonald's All-American and won 2 NBA rings?

Agreed that Ainge should be #1 over Jimmer.

Bradley was very impactful on a very talented team for a SINGLE year.

Swap Ainge and Jimmer. Remove Bradley and replace with Tyler. But many others

Sad that only one guy on that list had NBA success.

What do you consider NBA success?

While I see your point, Bradley had a very decent NBA career. One you would hope from a #2 pick? No. But far from the

I love Shawn Bradley, but the guys who were greater AT BYU than him include Mike Smith, Lee Cummard, Fred Roberts,

Bill Walton has seen them all and played against Cosic. He says Kresimir Cosic is #1.

6/8/23 9:29pm

But if you are the sports media looking to maximize subscriber count, pick Jimmer/Ainge #s 1 &2.

Any list that doesn’t include Mel Hutchins is wrong
