Duke sophomore guard Grayson Allen was one of 20 players named to the preseason watch list for the 2016 Jerry West Shooting Guard of the Year Award on Tuesday in an announcement by the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.
The Jerry West Award is in its second year and recognizes the top shooting guard in Division I men’s basketball. Allen is one of four ACC players named to the award’s preseason watch list.
Allen averaged 4.4 points and 1.0 rebounds in 35 appearances last season, but was one of the nation’s breakout stars in the latter portion of the campaign.
