Sports Illustrated - Emery Among Nation's Top Defenders

+

On a team where all the national attention is on his backcourt mate, All-America candidate Jimmer Fredette, Jackson Emery deserves recognition for being one of the country's best backcourt defenders. He was a member of the Mountain West's all-defensive team last season after posting a steal percentage of 5.0 -- the fifth-best in the nation. He was a huge reason why the Cougars had the most-efficient defense in the MWC.
