the hotline, welcome in the bucket getter talking some BYU basketball.
He is the eternal miss. He still believes b YU
basketball is and could be a Final four team. We
got Jonathan Tebinawari's the Brazilian bomber on the I J
T four three. How the heck are you?
Speaker 1: I don't expect them to be a Final four team whatsoever.
Speaker 3: But wait, you tweeted though you tweeted.
Speaker 1: I tweeted that it. I have hope that from now
in April six or when a do season ends, I
you know, as long as those two goal on a
generational tear. Yeah, you know, and I hope for the best.
Ben I.
Speaker 3: You tweeted this. You you bring it, You're you're giving
me hope. I mean, I'm pulling up the tweet.
Speaker 1: I know.
Speaker 3: I retweeted it because I was like, if JT believes,
I believe he said, and I quote nine hours ago.
Maybe it's the irrational confidence I've always had, especially on
the court, but these two are about to go on
a generational between now in April sixth, hashseag Final four
back you said it, I'm like, I'm all in. Jat's
all in. Let's go, you know.
Speaker 1: I one of the cases that I maybe should have
thought before I said, no, I'm joking.
Speaker 4: Look, I will say this, let me let me, let
me joke aside.
Speaker 1: Let me say this. I personally believe that those two
are going to go in a generational tear. I feel
like the decks are stacked.
Speaker 4: And you know what, It's one of those situations.
Speaker 1: That there is no other way. I mean, you tell me, Ben,
next two much is for the next two months. Well,
we're in February for the next month and a half,
for the next six weeks, There's no way that he
can go on an eighteen points a game free. There's
no chance, you know that. I then anybody else steps
up and averages fifteen a game. And so the competitor
in me is looking at Rob and AJ, and I mean,
I personally feel Ben, if b y U add to
the Sweet sixteen, AJ is the number one pick no
matter what. Let alone, if he gets to the final four,
which I'm a hoping that they will based on him
going in a generational tear. And if that also happens,
I think Robert RDY is the first round pick. And
so I am going to go I'm gonna go Bank
riddle here in glass have full and say, you know
that meme, the Kobe and Shack meme that they start
like on the line and they're coming together, and like,
I feel like they're the only way for BYU to
have a positive, a net positive ROI on this season
is for the both of them to go in a
generational tear. And I think it's gonna happen.
Speaker 3: I would love to see it, man, I. You know, look,
these two guys are our generational talents for BYU. We
were talking about how bayus never I mean we talked
about this in the in the lead up to Rob
Right the Third A We've never seen a point guard
like unto Rob Right the Third in BAU basketball history,
there has never been a point guard that that that
balls like he does. Now. We've had unique players like
Jim er Right. We've had unique players like Danny Ainge.
We've had some great point guards, but none of them
are like Rob Right in the form and fashion which
he goes out there and gets buckets. So like we
saw a forty burger dropped, I mean that was from
almost a forty berger. AJ's done it as well. My
question is, you know who's gonna lift where they stand
now that AJ and Rob don't have their their their
third an ego, uh, their their third musketeer. Who do
you think steps up?
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I gotta tell you there's two excuse me,
then there's two things that there's two possibilities in my
realm of possibilities. And I would love to have your
thoughts afterwards on what do you think? So option number one,
Ben you you start Tyler Murruts or Alexei Coastitch and
you start telling them that they are the greatest shooters
in the history of basketball. Steph Curry has nothing on them.
They are they are God's gift to BYU and to basketball,
and that they shoot, they should shoot everything that comes
your way. And every time they win, a booster will
give them ten thousand dollars bonus for every game that
BYU wins and they score more than ten points. Now
that's that's option eight. And you completely forget about defense
and you just go a race to one hundred and
forty points and you just figure out a way to
just get buckets. Now that's option number one. Option number two,
in my view, is you start Hadem and you say,
you know, Hadeem, we're gonna need you to be Why
Leonard on defense, Dennis Rodman on offense, and your This
is going to be the AJ Rob Show, the Robin
AJ Show, and they're going to get eighty points a
game between the two of them. You need to screen
and row like your life depends on it. Uh B,
Do you have to.
Speaker 4: Get ten rebounds a game and beido between the two.
Speaker 1: Of you, we need twenty points and we need you know,
twelve points and twenty rebounds and you play zone defense
the whole game.
Speaker 4: Because AJ Rob are gonna have to save their.
Speaker 1: Legs for offense. Now, in my personal basketball perspective, Ben,
those are.
Speaker 4: The two options.
Speaker 1: Do you have? What do you think of that?
Speaker 3: I've made the case for more offense and play like
a two to three zone, or and mix it up
between the two three and one three one with Aj
at the top of that because AJ can still put
forth a good defensive effort while not conserving all of
his energy, and he's got great length out there. Mihilo
could could be interesting too out there. I don't know,
like Hdean would be interesting up at the top of
that anyway, But like naturally, I want to get more
offense going I want to get more shooters on the floor,
and I want more spacing, and it's just a it's
just a more exciting brand of basketball. And I look
at the skill sets you mentioned, you know, Mihilo and
Tyler and a Lexi and even Canard, like all those
guys have have shown an ability to shoot the ball
and be effective and efficient, like I tend to lean
that way. I want more shooters on the floor, and
then you know that that's that's where I want and
I want to I also want to you know, bestow
upon them that confidence that you talk about, like where
you know there's a lot of like, uh, positive thinking
and the secret right you've watched the video, it's it's manifesting,
manifest manifest shots, manifest looks, manifest, Uh, the ability to
to really shoot the ball at a high level. And
three Yu, right, you're you embody, three Yu. You are
three Yu JT Like I still believe it in my
heart and heart, like we are three Yu and we
can be that in our best teams are three Yu.
Speaker 1: Well, so we're gonna we're gonna flip script over here
for a second, and uh, for those who are just
joining now, welcome back to ESPN the Fan with Jonathan
Tabernari with the guest of the hour is Ben Krittle.
Speaker 4: Yes, Ben, I have a I have a question for you.
Speaker 1: I put on a poll earlier today about which options
to go with, you know, an option A of more
offense and you know, a race to one hundred and
fifty points or Option B with more defense and Hadeem
coming in. I have a question for you, Ben, what
are the options as by you have?
Speaker 3: I mean I think those are the two options.
Speaker 1: I mean what I'm saying, Yeah, I mean did that?
Speaker 3: Did you put out the poll? I I don't did
be did b Yu? Fans say defense because they love
a team right now, that really.
Speaker 1: Is I let's do it. Let's do a poll tomorrow
and then you do it and you and then after
you send it out you tag me. But you know, like,
I think that's a fair question, Ben, Like what other
options do you have aside? I mean, take ten seconds
while I'm talking, Yeah, but like what other options are
there beside Tyler morass Alexei Coachitch or Hadeen coming off
the bench. Because you can't play Beato and Kada at
the same time, you could potentially play Mahi low but
I will, I will strongly disagree with you. Neither Mahi
Low or Tyler or Alexy have shown.
Speaker 4: That they are able to come in and consistently make
three pointers.
Speaker 1: They have it all year, been no and I agree
with that.
Speaker 3: I'm just yeah, I mean, look, I get it, like
they haven't shown any consistency. Is that due to volume?
Is that due to confidence? Is you know, I don't know,
Like we don't know what's going on behind the scenes.
You can tell that k Why does not have the
confidence in any of those three guys. In fact, he's
he's got more confidence in the defensive efforts. I look,
I see Alexi like. I like Alexi. I like Alexi
because I think he's got a pure stroke. I look
at his mechanics and how quick it comes out, and
I think he's got a pretty good handle. I actually
I like his length. He's six', four he can get some.
Rebounds he's he's got some girth to, him so he's
not gonna get overly bodied on the defensive. END i,
THINK i really think there's potential With. Alexi i've just
heard time and time. Again no one likes, him no
one trusts. Him i'm, like, ah, man you, know you,
know SO i GUESS i would lose this this poll
right now because everyone is more bought into the defensive.
Effort Canard AJ's maybe improved, defensively and Then Hadeem is
is a great rebounder and and a good.
Speaker 1: Defender and and the way THAT i look at this,
is you, Know rob AND aj are gonna have to
sleep thirty you, know or they're gonna have to. Sleep
they're don't have to play for forty. Minutes they're gonna
have to sleep in a hyperbaric. Chamber so four soap
pros Of American fork better place a couple of.
Speaker 3: Orders of a hyper, bey of.
Speaker 5: A twenty feed by a twenty, fee you, know hyperbaric,
chamber two of, them and they're gonna have to go
from hyperbaric chimber to the cold tub to a yoga.
Speaker 1: Session and you, know, like let them just shoot a
couple of pullups and jumpers that. Practice BEN i JUST
i you, know call me, skeptical call me a. RADICAL
i don't see another way. Either you set up it's
a race to two hundred by Having tyler And alexe
And mahilo shoot their weight in three pointers for the
next you, know six eight weeks and or you just
buckle doll on defense and you Have hadeem and you
Have Mahi. Loo just you know you're gonna have to
play a top line of Like rob And aj and
Then maha of like you, Know deba and Well, Canard
canard And, rob and then you Do, Aj hadem And
keba or you.
Speaker 4: Throw In, mahilo or you throw in or you throw In.
Speaker 1: Alexei Or tyler to go on. TOP i MEAN i
personally would do it in a way that you, know every,
half for, well every ten minute, SEGMENT i would take.
OFF i would Take rob for a, minute Let rob.
REST i would Put rob in For, aj Let aj
rest for a, minute and then put them back in
that way every every half they're resting for a minute
or two because you're never gonna be able to have
both of them off the. Floor and then you have
to figure out in the second, half you, know is
there a way that you can minimize all of? That
is there a way for you to minimize all of
this WITH tv? Timeouts and you know under the you
know the sixteen to, twelve the eight and the four,
TIMEOUTS i mean using your timeouts Specifically it is going
to take a lot of game planning by the staff
to make this. Work but there's a reason Why Kevin
young is who he. Is there's a there's a reason
for all of these guys to be who they are
and to get paid to what they. Do and we're
gonna have to see, it you, know in full force right, now.
Speaker 3: Truly, realistically what's the ceiling and floor of THIS bau
basketball team right?
Speaker 1: Now, well so you know things have changed, drastically, RIGHT i,
mean you know now the ceiling IS i think if
this team gets to the sweet, SIXTEEN i think they've
accomplished you, know day to, me will have accomplished pretty
much more than any other team aside From Danny Angels
elite eight and THE nit championship. Teams because it will
trump every Sea, now it won't trump You, ermania but
it will trump jimmers senior year and it will trump last. Year.
Speaker 3: Yeah DO i get? Dinner DO i get dinner IF
i If i'm? Right if since since the aj era
has not Trump, jimmermania DO i get a dinner or
anything like that for?
Speaker 1: That? Sure and, uh but me you And ron help? Me,
well so hold. On they had five season ending, injuries
AND i always said that as long as they stayed,
healthy they're going to accomplish. SOMETHING i, mean, literally you
have five guys that are, rotational guys get, hurt and
you're seriously asking me for. Dinner come, on, MAN i.
Speaker 3: NEED i need. DINNER i mean it's you, KNOW i
want some. Dinner, MAN i need. Sustenance.
Speaker 1: MAN i here's the, Thing, BEN i think the ceiling.
BECOMES i hate to say, it but you, KNOW i
feel like if they just win the round of thirty
two and, like, well if they get to the round
of thirty, TWO i see that the thing right Because
aj is so, good you have to think that once
they get to the, tournament he is gonna win a
game by himself like we've seen him do and That
Robert wright is going to go off and win a
game by himself like we've seen him do. It so
if you just if you just take those two factors in,
place then you realize that they can get to the sweet.
Sixteen but that is a tall, order, man that is
a tall tall.
Speaker 3: Order crazy TIMES. Jt they got six regular season games. Remaining,
Okay i've Asked, kukernation what do you think their record
will be Without. Richie you're looking at the. Schedule you're
At arizona this week tomorrow right seven pm tip, off
then you you take On, iowa stay at, home you
take ON ucf at, home and then you head out
To West. Virginia you're At West virginia At, cincinnati and
then you Welcome Texas tech at the end of the
season at. Home what's their record in the final six?
Speaker 1: REALISTIC i think they're going to go three and three
if if they're going To i'll say, this if they
go four and. TWO i think that there's a. PATH
i think that there is a hope that we see
enough from this team to actually get.
Speaker 4: To The sweet sixteen and maybe The elite eight.
Speaker 1: If but there is also a very realistic world where
they go to and four.
Speaker 4: And SO i think THAT i think that they go
three and.
Speaker 1: Three it is they've done more than they they should
and you, KNOW i think that three and three is
is Where i'm going to land. On they have the
potential to go four INTO i don't think they have
the potential to go six and. NO i just don't
see it. HAPPENING i think that Between arizona AND i
think between In area well not Even. Arizona you see
aff at home At West virginia and At. CINCINNATI i
think they if they are able to go two and,
one that's. Incredible so you would think that they win
at home AGAINST ucs and THEN i think, that you,
know it's going to be difficult for them to win
both At cincinnati and At West. Virginia but if they,
do then one between you, Know iowa stayed In texas
back at. Home if they, Win, dad that's. Huge let,
alone if they win two of, those then you, know
can they go five and? One yes they, Can but
we're gonna have to see a J, Phobe Bryan Michael
Jordan's dabansa and you Know Alan, iverson you, know Just Bud.
WEB i, mean you start naming point guards that are
scoring point, guards because that's the level that these two
are going to have to be for B yu to
be better than three and. Three.
Speaker 3: Yeah by the, way who's your, player Conference? Rob? Right the?
Speaker 1: Third Tim? Hardaway except oh, YEAH i Like Tim.
Speaker 3: Hardaway, Yeah, NO i Think Tim. Hardaway that's a great. One.
UH i actually like that one even. BETTER i like
The Isaiah, thomas the Og Isaiah thomas Said Vic kram brought,
UP i really like The Tim hardaway one that's on.
POINT i like that a.
Speaker 1: LOT i.
Speaker 3: DON'T i.
Speaker 1: DON'T i don't SEE i don't See Isaiah thomas on.
HIM i think because.
Speaker 4: You, know, maybe BUT i like The.
Speaker 1: Tim hardaway compareson. BETTER i just you, Know i'm trying to,
go you, know.
Speaker 3: Like the nineties and the.
Speaker 1: Teams That jordan's.
Speaker 4: FACE i wouldn't Say Mark, jackson, well.
Speaker 3: He's he's a nineties point. Guard he's not a modern
DAY nba point guard like. That we don't see those guys.
Speaker 1: ANYMORE i completely disagree with. You he's a scoring first point.
Speaker 3: Guard, no, no but not, that not that. Size, no this
is going. Away this is that his the, undersize like
five foot, eleven lightning quick point. Guard that's a nineties point.
Guard like we we don't have those as. OFTEN i am.
Speaker 1: Gonna mail this in uh Roof Denver. NUGGETS i actually
just saw uh a real On instagram AND i am
thinking about Uh mohammad Raf.
Speaker 3: Yeah mak Mood, rao, yeah yep, Yeah.
Speaker 1: And so that's who he reminds me off a. Lot you,
Know Kevin johnson was a little bit, taller BUT i,
think you, know between you know my, Mood i've Dou
Rah hoof And Tim. HARDAWAY i think that's the perfect
player comparison for.
Speaker 3: Him, YEAH i like. That someone Said Damon, stodamire the
lefty FROM u OF. A i mean he he. Was
he was nice, Too BUT i really like both of Those.
ROOF i like that, one AND i THINK i Like
Tim hardaway the. MOST i like that one just Because
tim was really, twitchy not not really, long and and
you look At rob he's he's kind of and he's
kind of built, stout and he doesn't really have long
arms at. All Like iaia had long. ARMS a lot
of these like you, know six foot six foot one,
guys they had really long. Wingspan So rob doesn't have a.
Speaker 1: Book Kevin, johnson so, yeah K.
Speaker 3: Johnson, YEAH kJ did, too AND kJ had a ton
of bounts. TOO kJ had a ton of, bounts but
a mean. CROSS. Jt love talking ball with. You thanks
for hopping on the best way to support you what you,
do how you do, It Bud.
Speaker 1: Well, listen say your prayers and, uh you, know if
you're not a, member if You're, CATHOLIC i have a
rosary ready for.
Speaker 4: You because it will take some.
Speaker 1: Divine intervention for this team to finish the year on
a on a on a good. Note, BEN i don't
know if we have, time BUT i have a question for. You,
hey here's the. Thing you, know we talked a lot
ABOUT roi in this day and age of. Athletics you,
KNOW i mean we all know the answers right, five you,
know season, in the injuries and so. On but how
how do you go and ask for the boosters and
and the collectives for another twenty million dollars next? Year you,
know if this team is not is not achieving their
results that we all expect that they.
Speaker 3: DO i think you have to have a foundational why
of why you compete in. Athletics if you don't have
that foundational why and understanding and believe in, it then
it's all for not, like, yeah we want to win.
Championships BUT i think when they see Aj debontsa show
up to church at A Latter Day saint church and
when he's discussing With Miles, simon you know his favorite
class at by un he Says book Of mormon and
shout out to his. Professor that's WHAT byu fans AND
byu donors want to see if they see and feel, That,
yeah they want to see, wins BUT i think the
threshold of like satisfaction is crossed when they see the
positive fruits and the return on investment in that regard
or so than the wins and the. Championships does that make? SENSE?
Jt like for, me you know that that may be
worth to invite people that aren't of the, faith you,
know to experience B yu and and the latter nation
and culture and and and provo the, good the, bad
and the, beautiful the ugly of it all, right much
more positive fruits than negative. Fruits and they come away
with like a really really positive. Experience that to means
that that to me is worth. It SO i think
those that believe that it's ambassador a tool of inviting
and uh in in others to the faith and having
that that synergistic you, KNOW i would say collaboration with
those of the faith in those with outside of the,
FAITH i think they'll continue to. Invest does that make?
Sense it?
Speaker 1: Does AND i think it's it's a it's a topic worth. Talking,
obviously we don't have to talk about it right now
because it's an it's it's a fascinating thing in the
day and age of paying collegiate.
Speaker 3: Players, yes, INDEED jg love. It appreciation, man thanks for
hopping on to talk some ball with us, Today.
