RE: WAC Conference Honors-Men's Basketball
So, here are my All-WAC 1st Team/2nd Team, built on 3 basic premises:
1) Must be good at more than 1 thing (i.e. Top 20 PPG, Top 15 RPG, and/or Top 10 in APG/STL/BLK) - Yes, Dancing, this will exclude Braun.
2) Seniors will receive priority from voters, as it is their last shot at awards.
3) Players choose as C for each Team are more obligatory than actually fitting the previous 2 premises. I'm not sure the conference has a true dominant C, but these guys will do for now.
1st Team
Russell GCU (1st PPG, 1st APG, 4th STL)
Baker NMSU (7th PPG, 3rd APG, 8th STL)
Palmer CSU (8th PPG, 1st RPG, 6th STL, 9th BLK)
Smith CSUB (16th PPG, 6th RPG, 3rd BLK)
Chuha NMSU (15th PPG, 3rd RPG)
2nd Team
Dixon UTRGV (3rd PPG, 9th RPG, 8th APG, 1st STL)
Westendorf SU (9th PPG, 5th APG, 2nd STL)
Basile CSUB (14th PPG, 10th APG, 3rd STL)
Powell SU (20th PPG, 8th RPG, 9th APG)
Neilson UVU (2nd RPG, 2nd BLK)
Dixon forces the voters' hands by ranking Top 10 in 4 of the 5 major statistical categories. I still have no idea how Boyd doesn't make one of the teams, but there are my best guesses about how it plays out.
