It’s never wise to compare young players, whether in college or the pros, with other young players from previous years. Different players progress differently, so there’s no way to guarantee that similar early stats will lead to similar careers.

BYU Basketball has two freshman who have become key parts of the rotation. Connor Harding has been a fixture in the rotation from the start of the season, and has started more than half of the Cougars’ 22 games.
Gavin Baxter, on the other hand, has slowly earned more minutes and will likely find his way into the starting lineup sooner rather than later.
