Both Wilkes and Hands made it onto the All-Pac-12 Second team after very productive offensive seasons.
Wilkes had led all Bruins in scoring as he averaged 17.3 points per game. He was especially deadly when he was knocking down midrange shots and driving to the rim, making him one of the best wing players in the conference.
Hands was second on the team in scoring as he put up 13.7 ppg, but what made him stand out was his 6.2 assists per game which has him at first in the Pac-12 and 15th in the nation. Despite a rough final weekend in the regular season, Hands has been on fire heading into the postseason and will lead the Bruins’ charge this Wednesday when #7 UCLA begins the Pac-12 Tournament against #10 Stanford.
Moses Brown made two different teams as he was named to the All-Freshman Team and was an honorable mention for the All-Defensive team. Brown was third on the team in scoring with 10.2 ppg and averaged 8.5 rebounds per game, good for fourth in the Pac-12. In addition, Brown averaged 2.0 blocks per game which was third in the conference and 37th in the nation.
