These two freshman (along with Poeltl) are going to be really good players for Utah. They both need some help on the defensive end of the court but what freshman doesn’t? Offensively, both of these players are big sparks off the bench. Chapman is noticeably bigger than he was coming out of Roy High School. He has a little bit of a three point shot and has excellent court vision. If you remember the game last year, Jordan Loveridge took over the game early and BYU never recovered. Both Kuzma and Chapman have that same kind of talent and could take over the game similarly to Loveridge last year. In order for BYU to hang, they need to make Wright and Poeltl beat them and not let someone like Chapman or Kuzma go off.
