I agree but that's not how it works in reality. Sure, if there were no scarcity in resources, we could run him off the team and find someone else that could rebound, guard other 4's, and be a threat to score everytime he touched the ball. If you find someone else on BYU's bench that can do that, I'm all for it. The reality is we probably don't have any GREAT players. We're a hodge podge of guys with varying skills and psyche and a great coach maximizes results with given players.
