Rob Jones is this writer's choice

Jay Drew of the Salt Lake Tribune makes Rob Jones his pick for West Coast Conference Player of the Year:

"... Again, teammate Matthew Dellavedova is probably going to win. But Jones was dynamite, too, and one of the big reasons SMC went 3-1 against BYU and Gonzaga. Jones led the league in rebounding by more than two rebounds a game (over Pepperdine's Corbin Moore) and was No. 4 in scoring at 14.8 ppg ..."

Drew also offers his other selections and some involve northern California players and coaches.
