Who is in the running for Player of the Year?
The staff at the Mountain West Wire wanted to do something a little different this year. We are going to keep track of the top performers from teams around the Mountain West throughout the year and vote on who had the best performances that week.
How It Works:
Each person will award 15 points in total to five players and should award it as so:
1st place (Player of the week): 5 pts
2nd place: 4 pts
3rd place: 3 pts
4th place: 2 pts
5th place: 1 pt
The player with the most points total will be our player of the week and we will keep track of the point totals every week so that the player who has the most at the end of the year will receive the Mountain West Wire Player of the Year award. Just copy the players below and type your names above it like we do for the pick them docs we get and award your points.
Now some guys made the list and others didn’t. A big thing to think about was consistency throughout the week. Something that hurt some guys was having a decent game one day and a bad one the other day. Guys who made the list had a great game one day and a good one on other days, or good games both days.
This column will come out on Sunday nights or Monday mornings depending on how late some games finish on Sundays.
The order for the first week is as follows:
1. Lindsey Drew, senior guard Nevada (5 points):
30 Points 8 Assists 6 Rebounds against Utah
24 Points 9 Rebounds 7 Assists against Loyola Marymount
2. Derrick Alston Jr, junior guard BSU (4 points):
25 Points 5 Rebounds 4 Assists against Life-Pacific
28 Points 2 Rebounds against Oregon
3. Amauri Hardy, junior guard UNLV (3 points):
15 Points 6 Assists 5 Rebounds against Purdue Fort-Wayne
27 Points 4 Rebounds 3 Assists against Kansas State
4. Jordan Schakel, junior guard SDSU (2 points):
15 Points 4 Rebounds 2 Assists against Texas Southern
19 Points 5 Rebounds against Brigham Young
5. Sam Merrill, senior guard USU (1 point):
