Gonzaga Basketball: Top 15 Players to Play for Head Coach Mark Few

Mark Few has built himself a powerful legacy at Gonzaga, turning them into an elite basketball program. Who were the top players that helped make this all happen?

When Mark Few took over as the head coach at Gonzaga in 1999, not even the most hardcore of Bulldog fans expected what that the next two decades would be this good.

The program went from an average West Coast Conference school to the clear best in the league. Under Few, Gonzaga has won the regular season title 17 out of his 19 years and has yet to miss the NCAA Tournament. The Bulldogs have only had two seasons of double-digit losses, and never less than 23 total wins.

For a while, there were small concerns about the program’s ability to win in the Big Dance, citing a lack of competition from WCC foes. But all those doubts were erased in 2017, where a 37-2 Gonzaga team made it all the way to the national title game, losing a hard-fought one to North Carolina.

In the first half of Few’s career, he’s had to develop players over four years that were somewhat off the radar of the Pac-12 schools. Now though, top-100 recruits are coming to them on a regular basis, with many of them not lasting four seasons before going pro.

Few is ranked as the No. 8 active college basketball head coach from an earlier article that I wrote. As with the others, I’ll be listing and ranking the top players that he has coached.

This is about college accomplishments and nothing more, so it’s hard for me to include lottery pick Zach Collins on this list since there are other bigs for the Bulldogs who had a bigger impact on the program.

That being said, here are the 15 best players that Mark Few has ever coached. Who will be No. 1?
