I'm excited about Keita ... but he also wasn't a starter for Utah

He played 16 mpg and had a large role, generally off bench. He's got serious potential and athleticism...but somehow he's become a Big 12 quality starter after not starting for a Utah team that may well be the worst team in the conference next season?

I saw Robby say we have 8 starters on this team, does anyone know who he was

Koz

Oh ok thanks. That seems like a big stretch to me but I guess we will see.

kimdaddy35

May 9, 2:04pm

Definitely. He will not be starter quality this year. Maybe an 8th/9th man

Some view Koz as better than CC. Depends on how well he can manage move to D1-P4

May 9, 2:11pm

I have literally never seen anyone who thought that. Care to share who has that

kimdaddy35

May 9, 2:13pm

Tavernari said it. I don't necessarily agree, but I haven't seen either play

Yeah Tav is wrong there

JT often gets talking and loses track of where he's at with what he's saying...

icecougar

Fair enough. I think that is a little sour grapes. Koz is a shooter

kimdaddy35

May 9, 2:18pm

Yes sour grapes and also Tav probably sees a lot of himself in Koz’s game

palangi

May 9, 2:25pm

Seljaas is probably a better comp

May 9, 4:28pm

To me Seljaas was much more a guard coming out than Kozlowski is. I have seen

If his shooting is legit this year he can play the backup 4

Some people are crazy.

Koz got a lot better when he committed to us and Cc got a lot worse when he left

May 9, 3:32pm

Vanquish the Foe article on Koz provides many superlatives plus highlights …

May 9, 5:22pm

Isn’t Koz more of a wing than really a stretch?

Socrates Johnson

May 9, 9:50pm

For this year? I'll disagree with that at this point. He's free to prove me wrong.

Indy Coug

Has to be Kozlowski

Starters could change somewhat depending on matchups and injuries

Stewart’s shooting numbers jumped significantly last year and he’s the best on

marinact

I like Stewart, but with his shooting motion it seems difficult to see him being

kimdaddy35

May 9, 2:10pm

He needs to attack the rim. His defense is so good if he can make wide open 3s

marinact

May 9, 2:15pm

Too many top shooters in the NBA have a great shooting % to make this statement

sparky

May 9, 2:40pm

Really? I can't think of any. Care to share who some of these guys are?

kimdaddy35

May 9, 2:49pm

Tyrese Haliburton comes to mind right away. It's not super common, but anyone

sparky

May 9, 2:58pm

Haliburton's is almost textbook shooting in front of his eye with everything

kimdaddy35

May 9, 3:11pm

Wasn't Stewart mentioned as having a high practice 3-point percentage?

Nodak Cougar

May 9, 3:10pm

That has been the story. So it might just be a mental thing, or maybe he just

JuicyJam

He should take a look at what Lohner is doing and try football

Stewart is not a good defender

May 9, 2:12pm

This is such a bad take it doesn’t deserve a counter argument.

marinact

May 9, 2:17pm

It's true though. I think many confuse athleticism with good defense.

Best defensive box plus minus and second best defensive rating on the team.

marinact

May 9, 2:24pm

Genuinely curious what defensive statistics/metrics you are referencing.

Defensive PRPG for starters, see here:

They jumped from unbelievably bad to just pretty bad.

I'd like to see Stewart in a bit more midrange game

Nodak Cougar

May 9, 3:07pm

If he can't get to the hoop, he shouldn't shoot.

JuicyJam

May 9, 3:55pm

I only see 4 right there

May 9, 2:12pm

I'm willing to let Baker pass & extend co-starter rights to Fouss. So I see 6 by his liberal criteria.

Three. Knell is not a starter.

krindorr

May 9, 4:27pm

He was behind their best player so it’d make sense that Keita wasn’t playing

palangi

Utah started two centers - Brandon Carlson and Lawson Lovering...

It is a nice 'problem' to have.
