Still think it was smart of him to put his name out there to get the benefit of the NBA scouts analysis. That will help him.

BYU still has great potential next year, but losing Loyd was a huge blow. Granted, we did most of what we did in the regular season with little contribution from him, but it was Loyd who got us through some of our tougher games later in the season and in the post-season.

I wouldn't be terrible shocked to find Lloyd go somewhere else without half the talent around him at BYU and struggle when Defenses put two and three men on lloyds drive.

I have to wonder how much of what we saw Lloyd do was what Tyler Haws did early in the season. Had several break-out games, defenders left him alone and he simply drained open shots. Then we saw defenses key in on him and watched his production sink for a few games while he and Rose tried to figure out how to break him out again.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I remember Lloyd's break out games being at the end of the season which doesn't leave a lot of film for teams to game plan for him. Granted having speed and versatility like that while trying to guard all the other weapons on our team make for a tough plan anyways, but how much of it was a surprise?

I think that is just silly. Loyd is one quick player off the dribble, and can stick a jumper on your face too. He didn't leave BYU because he was a bad player. He left because he did not want to live the HC. The kid can play. I think that is just your blue goggles talking for you. His loss hurts the team next year because we lose his experience, his ability to break down a defense. No mistake about that.

Sorry if it appeared that I was calling you out specifically, my comment was mostly meant in jest. A lot of BYU fans get the spelling of his name wrong, as I used to frequently as well. It took me a year to figure out Abouo's last name as well.

"I've assumed that Fredette would go back to school. Now I'm not so sure. He's been one of the few underclassmen to get a number of workouts this week. Why? It's a weak point guard draft. Scouts were intrigued by his play this season, and several teams' stat guys rank him as the No. 2 point guard in the draft. I've also gotten word that he has impressed people in workouts. I guess we'll find out Saturday if he was able to do enough to secure his status in Round 1."http://insider.espn.go.com/nba/blog?name=nba_draft&id=5167551

Jimmer Fredette, he has had workouts with the Thunder and the Celtics, with two more in two days. If he stays in the draft, where will he go?
Chad Ford (2:00 PM)
He's been impressive. It's helped him that the teams that employ stat geeks are getting word back that Fredette ranks as the No. 2 point guard in the draft based on their modeling. I've also heard he's worked out really well. I thought he was a lock to return to school, but am not so sure now. If a team promises him a pick in the first round, he'll stay. We'll know for sure on Saturday. If he stays in the draft, some team enticed him to stay in.
