Consider this a heat check.
The last time The Graphic made a “WCC Basketball Players to Watch” list, five of the six players won all-conference honors and the sixth (Portland guard Jazz Johnson) made the Honorable Mention list. This time, instead of highlighting experienced, somewhat-predictable all-conference picks, these are five players who are the B-sides, the rarities, fan-favorites and are relative unknowns for those outside the WCC.
All five players have several things in common: They are underclassmen who have showed flashes of being the WCC’s next superstars, and will not be in the NCAA Tournament (although the BYU Cougars will be in the NIT and the USF Dons will be in the CBI).
