12. Chase Fischer

Career stats: 10.9 ppg 2.1 rpg 1.6 apg

After a pair of seasons at Wake Forest where he was a role player off the bench, Fischer played a big part in BYU’s last trip to the NCAA Tournament. He started nearly every game, averaging nearly 15 ppg, shooting around 40% from deep while in Provo.

The former Demon Deacon scored over 18 ppg a night his final season, including a career-high 41 points in a win over Mountain West foe New Mexico in the Diamond Head Classic. He made nine threes that game.

11. Eric Mika

Career stats: 16.1 ppg 7.8 rpg 1.3 apg

After starting most of his freshman season and scoring in double figures, Mika went to Italy for a couple of years to serve a Mormon Mission. Normally, “mission rust” (a term used to describe players after not playing their respective sport in over two years) would have an effect on them.

That didn’t happen one bit for Mika, who dominated the WCC with an average of 20.3 ppg and 9.2 rpg, while getting to the free throw line nine times a game. The highlight was his 29 point – 11 rebounds in the regular-season finale win over undefeated and No. 1 ranked Gonzaga. It was one of the best individual seasons in BYU history.

10. Keena Young

Career stats: 12.1 ppg 6.0 rpg 1.1 apg

Mixing time between starting and being the sixth man, Rose utilized his athletic abilities to play great defense while battling for the boards. But in his final season, Young put everything to have the best individual season in the Mountain West.

He raised his average by seven points from the season prior to 17.4 ppg, while shooting over 50% from the field. The forward led the team to the Mountain West title, ultimately winning the Conference Player of the Year Award.
