Good point. Course Emery wasn't out as long and had a few months to get in shape.interesting that the one guy you critique is the one guy, who I can think of, who went from HS to mission to BYU and made a huge impact. freshman - nick Emery. guy had a dang good year last year. I hope tj doesn't have a similar slump and also hope we see more of the old nick emery.The only one I've been "disappointed" in is Emery. He has a full season under his belt. There should be marked improvement from last year. His defense got better, which is under appreciated, but his shot selection stayed the same. All he would need to do is take better shots and he'd be a much more effective player.Haws has shown better than Emery in this year's conference play, they have both been underwhelming and a disappointment though, in my opinion.
Before this season TJ hadn't played competitive ball for two years. The jump from high school to D1 alone is a big transition. Trying to do it after having not played in two years is tough. The disappointment in TJ by fans is hyper critical, IMO, and has more to do with unrealistic expectations.
Oh, Mika, Tyler, and Collinsworth came back from missions no problem, some may argue. Well, those players already had a year of D1 hoops under their belts. They knew what they were getting into. TJ graduated high school, disappeared for 2 years, and jumped into D1 hoops. Expecting him to be a world-beater is unrealistic, IMO.

So, 100% of respondents? Or were you insinuating a silent majority disagrees?The only one to respond.I'll take Haws.Honestly, if you were picking teams and you could pick Nick or TJ. Who are you picking? I'd take Nick.
