Believe it or not, December is almost over, which means the start of college basketball’s conference season — the promise of a new year and, hopefully, fewer celebrity deaths.

With the start of the West Coast Conference season set to begin Dec. 29, here are six players to watch over the next few months, determined by some statistical evidence, game time and — of course — a little bit of speculation.

Some of these players might not be household names around the West Coast Conference and are probably not household names among casual college basketball fans, but these six players — two guards, three forwards plus one reserve — make up the first annual Graphic Players to Watch Starting Five.
