On the final day of our Tip-Off Week coverage, we are ending off the week with a ranking of our top-10 players in the conference.

Our team was tasked with ranking the 10 best players in the conference. They filled out our form, ranking players one through 10. Each ranking has a certain amount of points assigned to them. We compiled the number of points each player had and we ranked them based on how many votes they had in our voters’ polls.

Team Breakdown

Two Selections: Colorado State, Nevada, Fresno State, San Diego State, and Boise State

One Selection: UNLV and Utah State

Notes:

• Grant Sherfield was a unanimous selection as the top player in the conference.
• Stevens, Roddy, and Hamilton all received the same amount of points and were all tied for second place on the top-10 list.
• The top-nine players on the list were all unanimous selections to make the top-10 list on every voter’s ballot.
• Mensha, Stroud, and Shaver all received the same amount of votes for 10th place, thus they were all selected in that spot.

Disclaimer: There are a lot of great players in the conference and only so many spots. Arguments can be made for many guys to be mentioned or on one of these spots. There will always be snubs. Always. The goal is that every player on this list is deserving, even if not every deserving player ended up making the list.
