Drew Timme was named the West Coast Conference Co-Player of the Year alongside Santa Clara’s Brandin Podziemski. He helps lead one of four Gonzaga players earning conference honors.
Timme averaged 21.2 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 3.2 assists per game this season. He led the WCC in a whole host of categorys: free throw attempts, field goals, effective field goal percentage, player efficiency rating, etc.
It is back-to-back awards for Timme. A meaningful honor and not something that has happened too often throughout the history of the WCC.
Drew Timme is the first player to win back-to-back WCC Player of the Year awards since Blake Stepp in 2003-04

Also just the 7th WCC player to do it in the last 50 years. It’s a heck of a list: Bill Cartwright, Quintin Dailey, Dwayne Polee, Doug Christie, Steve Nash, Stepp, Timme
Timme is one of four Zags to earn conference honors, alongside Malachi Smith, Julian Strawther, and Anton Watson (who is one of the most underrated players in the nation and somehow also by the people who are supposed to be following the conference).
