When you think of an individuals epic season in Tucson since the Lute Olson era began in 1983, only a handful of names are etched in historical stone. Sean Elliott (1988-89), Damon Stoudamire (1994-95), Jason Terry (1998-99) and Derrick Williams (2010-11) all won Pac-10 Player of the Year Honors during their colossal seasons.
Another guy who would take over games on that list is Salim Stoudamire. If future Olympian, Ike Diagu hadn’t played up the road in Tempe that season, Stoudamire would have had his own Pac-10 Player of Year hardware.
