Haws will start much sooner than Davies.
The difference is who they'd be starting over.
Haws is competing with Charles Abouo for time. Charles is the athletically superior of the two; however has shown the propensity to slow down the offensive game of the Cougs, get lost at times, and turn the ball over.
Charles has the highest pts/per minutes played and rebounds/per minutes played on the team. He can produce. The issue is how well he goes with the flow.
Haws is not nearly the defender that Charles is, but Tyler has tremendous hoops IQ, knows where to be on the floor, knows how to get contact on the drive, and how to avoid turning the ball over. Tyler flows almost seemlessly with this offense.
There will be matchups where starting Tyler is a great idea and other matchips where athletically Tyler would be tremendously outmatched and Charles will play the bulk of the minutes (like San Diego State, etc.)
Tyler will also help sell a lot more tickets in Provo than Charles (though I doubt that really has any bearing on the minutes he's getting)
Charles is not an incumbent starter, so this could be interesting all season. Regardless, he'll get minutes because next season Haws is on his mission and the 3 is Abouos.
Dave Rose likes Chris Miles. He likes how much space Chris takes up, he likes how a lot of opposing players fear taking the ball inside against Chris. The issue here? Chris isn't nearly as intimidating as he looks; in fact he can be pretty soft. So why start Chris? He's a bonafide returning starter and senior. (Charles Abouo is not)
Davies is active, quick, and fearless... he's also incredibly out of control at times; foul prone (really foul prone) and he brings the kind of energy that you like to see from a guy off the bench... he's going ot play alot but Miles is the starter.
