10. Domantas Sabonis – Gonzaga Bulldogs (2015-2016)

Career stats: 13.5 ppg 9.4 rpg 1.3 apg

After being the best 6th man in the country his freshman season, Sabonis displayed his full potential the following year. He averaged 17.6 ppg and 11.8 rpg, which is the most ever under Few. From a raw talent standpoint, the Lithuanian might at the top. However, there are some players who had an even bigger impact on the program, which hurts the two-year stud on this list.

9. Kyle Wiljter – Gonzaga Bulldogs (2012-2016)

Career stats: 13.0 ppg 4.6 rpg 1.3 apg

After winning a championship with Kentucky, the Oregon native headed back west, where he went under the “Olynyk Clinic” and became a completely different player. He was the lead scorer on the 35-win Elite Eight team, then scoring over 20 ppg in 2016 to drag the Bulldogs back into the NCAA Tournament, when they were in grave danger of missing it out.

8. Ronny Turiaf – Gonzaga Bulldogs (2002-2005)

Career stats: 13.3 ppg 6.8 rpg 1.0 apg

One of the many international players thanks to assistant coach Tommy Lloyd, Turiaf has become a fan favorite even long after graduating in 2005. He led the team in scoring and won WCC Player of the Year his final season. And unlike some guys who develop into a star, Turiaf had three straight years of 15+ ppg. His tenacious energy on both ends of the court combined with his flair for the game made him a one of a kind for the program.

7. Kevin Pangos – Gonzaga Bulldogs (2012-2015)

Career stats: 12.8 ppg 2.8 rpg 3.8 apg

It’s very rare for any player to be a four-year starter for Gonzaga, but Pangos was an instant impact player from when he arrived in Spokane. His overall numbers won’t wow many people, but he led what was considered one of the best eras of Gonzaga Basketball under Few. Pangos got his own WCC Player of the Year Award his final year as well, leading the team to the Elite Eight. The guard was known for his leadership throughout all four years with the program.

6. Blake Stepp – Gonzaga Bulldogs (2001-2004)

Career stats: 13.0 ppg 3.9 rpg 5.0 apg

The only two-time WCC Player of the Year under Few, Stepp is currently ranked second all-time in school history in assists with 640. His best season was his junior year, scoring 18.0 ppg and dishing out 6.0 apg, which also gave him All-American honors as well.
