Mountain West Basketball: Ranking of 25 best players from last decade (2013-23)

18. Isaiah Stevens

Stevens has been a major part of Colorado State’s revival in recent years and his story isn’t fully written yet either. A 6’0 point guard from Allen, Texas, he arrived back in 2019 and has started nearly every game of the last four seasons for the Rams, leading this program to a few remarkable seasons along the way.

Already averaging 13.3 points and 4.5 assists as a freshman, Stevens would put up some pretty impressive figures across his collegiate career with the Rams. Colorado State would win at least 20 games in his first three seasons, with Stevens playing a hand in their NIT run as a sophomore. Not only did he have a career-high 35-point game against UNLV during his junior year, but he helped lead the Rams to the Big Dance for the first time in nine years. This past season saw him average 17.9 points and 6.7 assists per game.

Stevens has impressively been named All-MWC in each of his four seasons with the Rams, garnering Rookie of the Year honors as a freshman and First Team honors as a senior. He’s been an efficient shooter and has accumulated 618 assists through four seasons, but his time with the Rams isn’t finished yet. This very talented backcourt weapon will be back for a fifth season at Colorado State next year, hoping to lead a bounce back after this past season ended roughly for the Rams.
