Scouting report: West is a three-time conference player of the year. He is the first Division I player to score 2,000 points and pull down 1,000 rebounds in his career since Kansas' Raef LaFrentz in 1998. ... Myles led the conference in offensive rebounds. He, West and Sato, an exceptional leaper, combine to make the Musketeers one of the best rebounding teams in the nation.
