At this point in the season I would only disagree with Dixon on this list and replace him with Matej Kavas of SU. The Aggies are dominating right now. Hopefully, GCU can turn things around give NMSU a run for their money.

Western Athletic Conference

Rank Player
1 Zach Lofton, New Mexico St. (Sr)
2 Jemerrio Jones, New Mexico St. (Sr)
3 Akolda Manyang, Utah Valley (Sr)
4 Nick Dixon, UT Rio Grande Valley (Sr)
5 Eli Chuha, New Mexico St. (Jr)

I would keep Dixon on the list and replace Chuha with Kavas. Everything else looks about right.

Although I think Chuha is one of the top 2 or 3 big men in the WAC, his current role on the Aggie team doesn't allows him to put up the type of numbers that justifies putting him on the All-Kenpom top 5 list. However, I do think if he were on any other WAC team, he would be their premier player. Chuha's inconsistency on defense and Jones' versatility has made it such that Chuha now comes off the bench rather than start.
