BYU Pro Tracker 2015-16 Season Report The Ultimate Guide to BYU Basketball Alumni in the Pros About this Guide Overview: BYU had ten alumni playing basketball professionally during the 2015-16 season, with two in the U.S. (Fredette, Carlino), one in Spain (Haws), one in Poland (Broadus), two in Italy (Davies & Tavernari), one in France (Carlino), one in Belgium (Cummard), one in Argentina (Ambrosino), one in Lithuania (Plaisted), & one in Qatar (Abouo). In 2015-16 there was at least one active professional basketball player for every BYU class since 2009, and there has been at least one player go pro from every class in the Dave Rose era, with 19 total players since 2005. This guide provides playing summaries and statistics for each of the active players. The guide was written by Tyler Christensen, managing editor at BYU Insider.

What about pre-2000? Are you interested in me listing those pros as well? Please send any and all feedback to me at: [email protected].
