Despite only starting six games this season for WSU, freshman guard Ricky Council IV has always found himself on the court during crunch time.
Council is averaging 11.7 points per game, the second most on the team, while playing 26.8 minutes per game. Council has been more aggressive in attacking the basket in his second collegiate season, shooting 51.5% on two-pointers in conference play.
“He started taking care of the basketball, he started driving and attacking,” Head Coach Isaac Brown said. “No doubt in my mind he should be sixth man of the year. When he comes off the bench it’s like instant offense.
