But I believe he is in an unique position to have two very good inside men, Echenique and Lawson, and maybe the best point guard, Young (Ahelegbe ?), in the conference to spread the defense for him. This is not to take anything away from Doug as every other team in the Valley wishes they had him. I expect before he graduates he will be player of the year.
I don't think I can find five players to put in front of him.
Weems - a first team lock
Warren - seems to be pretty close to a lock
Durley - probably has been WSU's best player
After that, there are bunch of guys that are 50/50 and certainly not 1st team locks. Heck, I'm not sure Durley is a lock.
