I don't believe that Gonzaga has the 3 best players in the conference as Daniel Kickert of St. Mary's and Glen McGowan of Pepperdine are also two great players.

i think stepp and rony are and that isnt even in doubt, adam morrison is one of the top 5 freshmen in the country but he isnt even starting,a/o last wed so he may not be better at this point than those you mention. but he is going to be a great one.

Biased much? Granted those three players are all great, but I don't believe they are the three best players in the entire league.

I do believe that Blake Stepp is probably the best player in the WCC. But I would put Alex Acker right behind him. Others would be Turiaf, McGowan, Kickert, Kyle Bailey and Donald Wilson.

I didn't see Turiaf play since the last european championship in Sweden. (Turiaf is a french national team's member). I wish you guys tell me what you think about him as a player . Do you think he will be drafted? if yes , would it be in the first round? Personally , i think he might do it. His game seems not to be already very polished , but he is very peppy and wilful. He is also quite big now. (he was so skinny when he was in france ..the difference is astonishing)

HKF

Well in regards to Turiaf, you are correct that he is not very polished, but he has some skills. He keeps getting more polished by the day and is world's better than when he was a freshman. He should be the man next year for the Zags (if he stays, I think he will). He has the innate ability of drawing fouls and using his body to get baskets. He is the type of guy who could be like Karl Malone in the fact that in the pros he might get 10-12 FTA's a game because he is so active. However, it would be nice if he developed a few more moves like a drop step or a turn pivot in the paint for a fadeaway on the baseline. He doesn't have a vast array of moves yet, but he does have skills and if someone works with him he will be much better on the next level.
