F- Stacy Davis (Pepperdine)
By Josh Horton
Last year’s WCC newcomer of the year finds himself on our preseason third-team. The sophomore forward will be relied upon much more this season, especially since the Waves leading scorer from a year ago Jordan Baker transferred to San Jose State this offseason. Davis is a tad undersized for the power forward position (6 foot 6 inches), but he makes up for it by having a great motor. If Davis can further improve on the 11.2 points and 7.3 rebounds he averaged last season, on top of turning Pepperdine into a contender in the WCC, Davis will solidify himself on either the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd team. That is almost guaranteed.
