Mountain West Basketball: Top 10 impact incoming freshman for 2019-20

7. Kenny Foster – Wyoming

Foster is another exciting prospect for Wyoming in 2019-20. Foster was named Gatorade player of the year in Colorado averaging 27.1 points, 10.8 rebounds, and 4.8 assists. Just like Marble Jr., Foster could be counted on immediately should he prove ready. His skills certainly make for an impressive and entertaining highlight video as seen above. It may take a little time, but Foster could supply the Cowboys some instant offense with the amount of talent he has.

6. Liam Mcchesney – Utah State

Much of Mcchesney’s impact depends on what Coach Smith will value and need from his bench. There’s simply a lot already in place for the Aggies to think there are gobs of minutes up for grab for a newcomer in 2019-20. At 6-9, Mcchesney likes to drift outside the paint and spot-up beyond the arc. Mcchesney is lanky and may need to grow into his fame some, but if he can prove to be an efficient shooter, he could carve out a role for a team that would benefit from added depth in this area.

5. Dischon Thomas – Colorado State

Colorado State received a massive boost to its 2019-20 squad when Nico Carvacho, announced he would be returning for his senior year. The 6-11 double-double machine should once again be dominant for the Rams, but the center was the only player over 6-7 to average more than ten minutes a game for Colorado State last season. The need is apparent for other talented bigs and Coach Medved should have one with Dischon Thomas. With a 6-9 chiseled frame, Thomas should see some minutes alongside Carvacho and be able to give the Rams some more help on the boards.
