high-volume BYU shot-maker with edge, range, and a controversial backstory
Nick Emery’s BYU résumé shows a fearless guard who could score in bunches, knock down threes, and carry a heavy offensive load; in the 2018-19 season he finished his Cougar career with 1,173 points and a 17.8 points-per-game average across three seasons, while also shooting 37.5% from three and 81.5% at the line. He’s the kind of guard teams loved for his confidence and shot-making, but his career also came with NCAA issues, suspensions, and eventual retirement, so the fit question is as much about locker-room stability and trust as it is about talent.
