ROLLA, Mo. – With the 2019-20 athletic season completed, we want to take a look back at the past decade and determine the all-decade teams for the Miner squads during the course of the 2010s.  Today's installment in this series will look at the top men's basketball players, by position, over the last decade.

Individuals listed are placed at one individual position, listing a post player, a power forward, a wing, a shooting guard and point guard, along with one coming off the bench. 
 

	Point Guard: Juwan Miller (Kitchener, Ont./Huron Heights) (2014-19): During the decade, Miller racked up 369 assists against 185 turnovers – nearly a two-to-one assist-to-turnover ratio – while also averaging nine points and 4.1 rebounds per contest.  He recorded the second-highest assist total for a season in the 2016-17 campaign with 145 and finished his career second in assists with 369 and in steals with 167, 53 of which came in his junior year when he was named to the Great Lakes Valley Conference's all-defensive team.
	Shooting Guard: Mudi Eruteya (2012-14):  Eruteya, a two-time All-GLVC selection, led the Miners in scoring with an average of 13.6 points per game during his first season at S&T in 2012-13, then upped that average to 16.7 points per contest as a senior.  That scoring average was the second-best in a season by a Miner during the decade as he averaged 15.3 points during his S&T career.  He also had a positive assist-to-turnover ratio in both of his seasons as a Miner, racking up 211 assists during that time as he led the team in both seasons.  Eruteya also led the Miners in steals in each of his two years at S&T and was named to the GLVC's all-defensive team in 2014.
	Wing: Bryce Foster (2010-14):  Foster closed out a standout career at S&T as the third-leading scorer in program history, racking up 1,683 points.  He became the first Miner to earn first-team All-GLVC honors during the 2013-14 campaign after finishing second in the league's scoring race with an average of 21.6 points per game; that average was the highest by a Miner player in over two decades.  Foster also ranks high on S&T's career lists for field goals made (second with 602), three-pointers made (fifth with 197), free throws made (tied for 10th with 282) and recorded the only triple-double in program history during the 2013-14 season.
	Forward: Dulan Scott (Chicago, IL/Farragut Academy) (2016-20): Scott made his way into the Miner starting lineup from day one and averaged 11.1 points and 3.4 rebounds during his four-year career that also saw him reach the 1,000-point mark in his final game in an S&T uniform.  Scott shot 45.3 percent from the field and 34 percent from three-point range during his career and led the Miners in scoring during his senior year with an average of 15.7 points per game; he averaged in double figures in three of his four seasons at S&T.
	Post: Rokas Paulauskas (2015-17): Paulauskas spent two seasons at S&T and displayed consistency throughout that time, averaging 9.1 points and 7.5 rebounds per game while shooting 55.2 percent from the field.  A member of the GLVC's all-defensive team in 2017, Paulauskas made 33 steals and blocked 43 shots during the course of his career as a Miner.  After finishing among the GLVC leaders in rebounding during both of his S&T campaigns, Paulauskas has gone on to a successful international career in Italy.
	Bench: Zach Ellis (2012-16): Despite starting in just 21 of his 103 games at Missouri S&T, Ellis was a double-figure scorer in his Miner career and finished with 1,028 points overall.  He averaged at least 7.8 points per game in each of his four seasons at S&T and was in double figures in each of his last two, scoring 12 per game as a junior and 11.4 as a senior.  Ellis also produced in other areas on the floor, accumulating 155 assists and 114 steals while shooting 36.4 percent from three-point range and 77.6 percent at the free throw line.  He had 49 career games where he scored in double figures.
