Jaylen Wells - Delivering in starting roleWells racked up 17 points (6-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 10 rebounds and one block in 37 minutes during Saturday's 78-69 win over Colorado.

ImpactSince moving into the starting lineup six games ago, Wells is averaged 14.3 points and 6.2 rebounds while shooting 48.4 percent from the field and 42.9 percent from deep in 37.0 minutes per game. He and Isaac Jones (13 points, 11 rebounds), combined to fuel Washington State's victory in the rebounding battle (40 to 35). Wells is picking up fantasy relevance as a high-floor contributor until proven otherwise.

Isaac Jones - Back-to-back double-doublesJones had 13 points (5-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 11 rebounds and one block in 34 minutes during Saturday's 78-69 win over Colorado.

ImpactJones was held in-check Saturday, but his performance is indicative of a fair floor for the big man. Even though his block rate and defensive rebounding rate are slightly down from his breakout campaign at Idaho last year, he has helped anchor Washington State as a top-40 defensive rebounding team in the country. Additionally, his ranks in the top-120 nationwide with a 62.1 true-shooting percentage.

Tristan da Silva - Prototypical production Saturdayda Silva ended Saturday's 78-69 loss to Washington State with 16 points (6-15 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one block in 36 minutes.

Impactda Silva nearly aligned with his season averages of 15.6 points and 5.4 rebounds in Saturday's victory, and he has settled in with averages of 15.3 points and 5.4 rebounds across his past seven games. KJ Simpson has blossomed into the star of Colorado's offense, but da Silva's floor spacing and versatile presence is a critical component even when his efficiency is mediocre.

KJ Simpson - Simply sublimeSimpson ended with 25 points (7-11 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 8-8 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and one steal over 39 minutes during Saturday's 78-69 loss to Washington State.

ImpactSimpson embodied peak efficiency Saturday, generating the majority of his points from beyond the arc and at the free-throw line. Across 20 players to be hitting at least 50.0 percent of twos and 40 percent threes this season, Simpson leads the nation in assist rate and steal rate, profiling him as arguably the most well-rounded guard in the country at his efficiency.
