Pac-12 Basketball: Ranking of 25 best players from last decade (2013-23)

18. Tres Tinkle

A 6’7 wing from Missoula, Montana, Tinkle developed into a major star at Oregon State, spending five years playing under his father Wayne with the Beavers. A Top 100 recruit from the Class of 2015, he would put up some incredible figures with the program, though he did redshirt as a sophomore after getting knocked out early in the season with an injury.

As a freshman, Tinkle was good for 13.1 points and 5.4 rebounds per game as the Beavers made the NCAA Tournament for the first time in nearly three decades, though Tinkle missed that trip due to a foot injury. He showed potential the next year before averaging 17.6 points per game as a redshirt sophomore. The Beavers struggled with Tinkle out of the lineup and had three pretty solid seasons, with Tinkle actually surpassing 20 points per game as a junior.

Oregon State was in much better shape with Tinkle in the program and he was rewarded with three straight First Team All-Pac-12 awards. His 2233 career points are one of the highest totals in recent Pac-12 play while he had pretty decent steals numbers as well. The fact of the matter is that Oregon State fell to pieces without him and was a competitive program in the Pac-12 during the four-plus seasons he was on the court.
