Fouss made the WCC All-Freshman team last season after one of the top freshman seasons for any player out west. Fouss averaged 9.5 points on 59% shooting and led BYU with 8.5 rebounds per game and 1.3 blocks. Traore is an undersized 4/5 man at 6-foot-6, but his 254 pounds frame and 7-foot-1 wingspan allow him to play much bigger.
Gonzaga led the way with three selections on the 10-person team and the Gaels added two.
Below is the preseason poll and All-WCC team.
