Scott, a two-year player from Los Angeles, leads the Big Sky in assist-to-turnover ratio (sixth nationally), assists per game (35th nationally) and total assists (43rd nationally).

Hill and Scott joined Quinton Upshur (Northern Arizona), Dylan Garrity (Sacramento State) and Joel Bolomboy (Weber State) on the second team. The first team consisted of Tyler Harvey (Eastern Washington), Venky Jois (Eastern Washington), Martin Breunig (Montana), Jordan Gregory (Montana), Kris Yanku (Northern Arizona) and conference MVP Mikh McKinney (Sacramento State).
