In a year like this season, with the Gonzaga Bulldogs most likely entering the polls ranked as the top team, and if not, very near the top, all of the public accolades will go to the starters and the stars. This is understandable, they are the faces of the squad, after all.
Players such as Drew Timme, Chet Holmgren, Andrew Nembhard, and many more are the highlight reels. They are the ones that draw the cheers throughout the majority of the 40 minutes. It isn’t until the waning minutes of the game that we see the walk-ons, such as Will Graves, get their time on the floor.
