LOS ANGELES — From game to game, BYU forward Payton Dastrup never knows when he will play or how much he will play.

But he certainly knows — and embraces — his role.

“I’ve always been the energy guy. I’ve always been that guy that’s trying to be a spark on and off the floor, staying motivated and talking on the bench,” Dastrup said.
