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

same top 5

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.

SinkingQuffa

6/8/23 7:42pm

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

If he didn't come back from the mish in all-conf form — frankly, we woulda

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

jlhazlewood

6/8/23 8:14pm

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

SinkingQuffa

6/8/23 8:16pm

Tyler more complete than Jimmer? Hmmm…

Mike Smith.

Timo Saaralinan?

Brigham

6/8/23 7:58pm

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?

An upperclassman Kite woulda stonewalled a Frosh Bradley well outside the paint

Agreed that Ainge should be #1 over Jimmer.

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

SinkingQuffa

6/8/23 7:58pm

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

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

Tare

6/8/23 8:08pm

What do you consider NBA success?

6/8/23 8:52pm

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,

The great Jim Eakins

I would personally put Travis Hansen above Shawn Bradley

ElkhunterUT

6/8/23 8:11pm

Here is the answer: Ainge, Fredette, Cosic, Durant, and Smith.

We have a winner! Perfect top 5.

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
