BYU basketball: Rating the Cougars NBA Jam style
Elijah Bryant
| Height | 6’5″ | Weight | 210 |
| Speed | 6 | Block | 4 |
| Power | 6 | Pass | 6 |
| 3PT | 3 | Clutch | ? |
| Steal | 3 | FT% | None |
| Dunk | 5 | Luck | 2 |
At this point, a lot of Bryant’s playing statistics are still based on conjecture. An unexpected knee surgery just prior to the season has slowed him significantly. Coaches and observers of last year’s scout team claim he can be a dynamic point guard—an explosive slasher, rebounder, and 3-point threat.
Even though he’s at the end of this list and the Cougars’ bench, it wouldn’t take much to vault Eli near the top. By the middle of conference play, he may emerge as a real contributor and a mismatch at the 1 with his 6-foot-5 frame. It all depends on his health.
BYU basketball’s first conference foe is Santa Clara. The Broncos are the only team BYU has never lost to in conference play (12-0), but Jordan Brownridge poses a real threat as a scoring guard. BYU still definitely has the horses to win. Now it’s a matter of how they line up.
