Nick Emery

Height  6’2″ Weight  185
Speed  7 Block  2
Power  3 Pass  8
3PT  8 Clutch  6
Steal  9 FT%  .879
Dunk  1 Haircut  3

Emery returned as the sole guard with experience from last year, where he made a freshman-record 97 threes. Unfortunately, just like last year, it’s taken him awhile to get his stride from distance. In Emery tradition, Nick leads the BYU basketball team in steals, and frequently gets the other teams best scoring guard as his mark.

When he’s hot, he can score in a hurry. He also has an aggressive, crafty style of attacking the basket that keeps defenders from selling out to stop his deep shot. When the Cougars need a shot with five seconds left on the clock, Emery is their man.

Just don’t ask him to dunk it.
