If Alston develops as much this off-season as he did last off-season, he will be a 1st team All-MWC player and a POY candidate.

He doesn't even have to develop that much - he averaged 16.3 ppg vs MWC teams.  If he just plays 35 minutes per game instead of 28 - then he's going to be competing with Merrill for leading the league in scoring.

Is Alston on scholarship?  If so when did he get it. 

[BleedRebelRed]

The smart money says that the MWC POY will be from Utah State.

That list makes me question how much better informed the "bloggers" at MWWire are than us "trolls" over here at MWCBoard.... Scottie and Grimes as POY candidates?  He criticizes the lack of minutes for Grimes in the past, but if you've followed Nate Grimes (I have for over six years, when former Rebel Lamar Bigby started trying to get Dave Rice to offer him at UNLV) you've seen that he's one of those players where more minutes don't translate to better productivity.

It should also be noted that MWC Wire mentioned these guys at the end of the article:

Also considered:
Justinian Jessup, Boise State
Derrick Alston, Boise State
Kris Martin, Colorado State
Jazz Johnson, Nevada
Jalen Harris, Nevada
Anthony Mathis, New Mexico
JaQuan Lyle, New Mexico
Carlton Bragg, New Mexico
Zane Martin, New Mexico
K.J. Feagin, San Diego State
Amauri Hardy, UNLV

Not sure about last year, but he is for the coming season.

I saw a mock draft where he was ahead of Caleb so he must have done well.
