WAC Preseason Player of the Year: Luke Babbitt

National Hoops Report WAC Preseason Player of the Year
Luke Babbitt, PF, Sophomore, Nevada

Babbitt was one of the top scoring freshmen in the country last year at 16.9 per clip. The big man also grabbed 7.4 rebounds a game while shooting 42 percent from three. He can burn you inside, outside and every where in between.

Not only is Babbitt the best player in the WAC, he is the best player on the West Coast right now.

Babbitt originally committed to Ohio State as a junior but the Reno native thought against his original feelings and switched his pledge later to Nevada, the local school. Babbitt was the No. 31 ranked player in the class of 2008, according to Rivals.com. Scout.com and Prep Stars listed him as the No. 24 ranked player in the class. He’s lived up to the hype in a very real way and by the time it is all said and done, Babbitt could be the most decorated player in Nevada history.
