Re: Nick Emery returned against Utah State
Dave Rose said that Emery had been playing exclusively on the scout team, so he wasn't sure how integration was going to work.byufan4ever wrote: ↑Fri Dec 07, 2018 2:08 pm I wonder if part of the reason for BYU's bad performance was because Emery was practicing with the team, but not playing the in the games. So the team was used to having him in there as part of the offense and defense every day during practice, but then that piece was missing during games.

Re: Nick Emery returned against Utah State
Looks like my worry was justified. He shot 4-6 for 11 points on his debut and since then has only scored in double digits just once and has only shot over 50% in a game once. He has scored 0 points 4 times. So, yes, a 1,000 point scorer can be another McKay Cannon.byufan4ever wrote: ↑Fri Dec 07, 2018 2:06 pmAs in the first game in the middle of season he has a really good game and we think the rest will be the same and then they're not.dsmith1212 wrote: ↑Thu Dec 06, 2018 2:18 pmHow can a 1,000+ career points player be another McKay Cannon?
And again, for the record, I don't hate Nick. I hate the NCAA and their silly rules and overly heavy-handed sanctions against one player/team and very light-handed sactions against other players/teams.

Re: Nick Emery returned against Utah State
Yes. You were spot on. Do you see any hope that Nick can regain his offensive prowess to match his defensive intensity and performance?

Re: Nick Emery returned against Utah State
Not this season. My best hope is that he works his butt off in the off season and something clicks to bring him back to his former self. However, I don't think he ever regains his starter status. He has rightfully lost that. Understandably, his confidence is shaken, and until he gets that back I don't see him averaging 10 ppg, which would have to be from off the bench.dsmith1212 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 28, 2019 10:46 am Yes.

However, the great thing about sports is that you just never know what will happen. I hope that he (and the rest of the team) get hot and reach their full potential, but the chances of that happening seem slim to me.

Re: Nick Emery returned against Utah State
At least from the television view of things, Emery's defense has seemed quite good. I thought his handling of St Mary's high scoring guard was outstanding.
