No. 1- Tyler Haws (BYU)
By Andrew Perkins
Haws set the bar extremely high for himself in the 2012-2013 season, coming off a two-year basketball hiatus to lead the WCC in scoring at 21.7 ppg. What’s more impressive is that he scored at such a high level while averaging only 1.2 3-point field goals a game. That may be what’s so special about Haws – his mid-range game is a thing of pure beauty. It’s hard NOT to believe that any 15-footer that he shoots will end up tickling the twine. He’s now the undisputed go-to guy, and he’ll need to up his game even more. Haws struggled against more physical competition – note the 1-point performance against Gonzaga – and one might expect defenses to be even more physical with him this year. With a full summer of work, including his appearance in the World University Games, Haws should be ready for the big challenge that lies ahead.
