Who should win WAC MVP honors?

We've been sitting on this for some time so here goes:

So who will be awarded WAC MVP honors this season?

Granted, all the hay hasn't been harvested as yet but here is what we know right now:

Adrian Oliver is tops in scoring at 22.1, followed by Troy Gillenwater at 21.8 ppg. La'Shard Anderson ranks fifth at 15 a game. Tai Wesley is ninth at 14.3. Olu Ashaolu is averaging a double-double but it seems that the lamb will lie down with lion and still be baa-ing the next day before a player on the team currently caboosing it is lauded as the most valuable player.

Dario Hunt is putting up 12.8 points, grabbing 9.5 rebounds and blocking 2.4 shots a contest. Hawaii's Bill Amis checks in at 13.8 and 7.8 plus 2.6 blocks. Wesley is nabbing 7.4 rebounds a game, Gillenwater 6.7 and Oliver 6.2. Anderson is at 4.5 assists and a league-leading 2.6 steals per game.

To make comparisons easier:

* Oliver: 22.1 points, 6.2 rebounds
* Gillenwater: 21.8 points, 6.7 rebounds
* Anderson: 15.0 points, 4.5 assists, 2.6 steals
* Wesley: 14.3 points, 7.4 rebounds
* Ashaolu: 13.5 points, 10.1 rebounds
* Hunt: 12.8 points, 9.5 rebounds, 2.4 blocks
* Amis: 13.8 points, 7.8 rebounds, 2.6 blocks

Plus, here are the current standings (if that will factor into your decision):

Utah State 12-1       
New Mexico State 8-4  
Nevada 7-5    
Boise State 7-6       
Idaho 7-6     
Hawaii 5-7    
Fresno State 5-8      
San Jose State 3-9    
Louisiana Tech 2-10

So who gets the nod as the conference most valuable player? Does it only go to a player for a top-of-the-division team?

We'll take a look soon  -- it should be at the same guys -- at who will land an All WAC First Team spot.
