Jimmer Fredette’s next big shot will be the one he attempts trying to prove wrong a new set of critics who question whether he can thrive at the NBA level.
For BYU, the task of moving forward without the Jimmer may be just as challenging.
The Cougars, whose season ended abruptly with Thursday night’s overtime loss to Florida in the NCAA round of 16, have to replace not only all-time scoring leader Fredette but all-time steals leader Jackson Emery and a third senior captain, Logan Magnusson.
BYU also won’t have all-everything freshman Kyle Collinsworth next season as he heads to Russia in a few months for his Mormon mission.
The new-look Cougars also will jump to a new conference, leaving the Mountain West for the West Coast Conference.
