Name a player that was named MVP and defensive player of the year? Austin Bryan. Wenatchee's boys basketball player Austin Bryan was named the Columbia Basin Big Nine Cascade Division Player of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year. This is a prime example of a team player and one that excels his game to that next level. Not only because he can finish on the offensive side, but he works as hard or harder on the defense. Not enough credit has been given to Bryan, but not a problem he still gets it done. A player that does not need to shoot the ball 20 plus times to get his 25 or 33 pt per game.
