After spending his sophomore season as a top player on the San Diego roster, Olin Carter took a step back and allowed his new teammates to take the spotlight. Despite no longer being the top scoring option, Olin Carter took his new role as a three-point specialist and excelled.

Not only did Carter lead the WCC with 87 made three-pointers in 2017-18, he also improved his defense to fit the Torero’s new defensive focus. While Carter’s numbers have gone down due to a much improved roster, his ability to put up big numbers from deep earns him a spot on this list.

After losing Jock Landale to graduation, the Gaels desperately needed an experienced low post player to fill the void and turned to graduate transfer Aaron Menzies to fill that role. As a junior at Seattle U, Menzies recorded 2.3 blocks, 8.9 rebounds, and over 60% shooting.

It will be interesting to see how Menzies adjusts to the bigger frontcourts in the WCC, but the 2018 All-WAC Second Teamer certainly has the size and skill to make some noise. As a 7-footer, Menzies height certainly gives him a bit of an advantage, but he will need to prove his toughness over the 16-game WCC slate.
