Duke freshman DJ Steward comes to college basketball with a reputation as a great shooter and clearly people think highly of his skill: he’s been put on the list for the Jerry West Award. You don’t have to watch him long to see he has a beautiful shot and that will translate into lots of baskets.
And it’s not like it’s unusual for a freshman to win this award: fellow Brotherhood member RJ Barrett won it during his only year in a Duke uniform, 2019.
