The Spokesman-Review

Keep an eye on these three once the season tips off:

Derrick Low, Guard:

Now in his junior season, the Cougars are moving Low away from his former point guard duties, hoping to get the Hawaii native to shoot the ball more. Before a foot injury last season, Low was hitting nearly 50 percent of his 3-point shots.

Aron Baynes, C:

When the sophomore Baynes gets healthy, he’ll provide a dimension that few Pac-10 players can. At about 280 pounds, Baynes could turn into one of the league’s most physical players, and give the Cougars a rebounding presence they’ve lacked.

Robbie Cowgill, Forward:

Cowgill is easily WSU’s most consistent threat. The junior has developed a nice midrange game and some added strength could help him in the low post. If WSU can’t count on him for double-digit points, the season could be a long one.
