Sophomore guard John Gillon earned MW Sixth Man of the Year honors. He averaged 8.1 points and 3.9 assists per game in MW play while coming off the bench in all 18 games.
There was no real surprise as Boise State guard Derrick Marks was named the MW Player of the Year. It was a good year all around for the Broncos as sophomore forward James Webb III was named MW Newcomer of the Year and head coach Leon Rice was named MW Coach of the Year.
MW Freshman of the Year was awarded to UNLV guard Rashad Vaughn. San Diego State junior forward Skylar Spencer and Wyoming senior forward Larry Nance Jr. took home MW Co-Defensive Player of the Year honors.
