Maybe because there was another player in the decade who played on consecutive NCAA tournament teams (the first time in nearly 2 decades), was only the sixth UD player ever to get 1,500 points and 1,000 rebounds, putting him in the company of all-time Dayton greats like Finkle, May, Uhl, Horan, and Perryman, and that actually won 20 games in each season he played in.

If you're simply looking flash and offensive prowess, I'll acknowldge that Brian Roberts is your guy. if you're looking for the guy who hated to lose and was the best and most consistent player on both ends of the court, I submit that it has to be Keith Waleskowski. That's not intended to diminish Brian Roberts' career. But, I just think KW had the better and more outstanding overall career and therefore is more deserving.

Regarding Chris Wright, he deserves to be in the discussion. For me, the fact that his career isn't complete is a hindrance from voting him as the player of the decade. But, there is a strong argument in favor of him.
