The three primary BYU guards are just not very athletic.
I don't believe it's a question of athleticism. Emery is not athletic and he's short, and he makes some of the weirdest decisions. Haws is a bit taller so he can sometimes compensate, but he's unfit and won't move fast enough on defense, and Elijah Bryant is somewhat athletic but seems lost in the offense at times and on defense.

SMC isn't blessed with athleticism, but they know their roles and execute.

The judgment of BYU guards is abominable. TJ is less of a player than Tyler.
