Expectations are high for Georgetown Hoyas senior Jessie Govan heading into the fast-approaching season. Earlier today, the Naismith Memorial Baksetball Hall of Fame named him to a list of 21 candidates for the prestigious Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Center of the Year Award, which recognizes outstanding play at the center position.
The big man is entering his final season in blue & gray and second year under the watchful eye of Patrick Ewing—who knows a thing or two about playing the Center position—and the success of the team around him will depend heavily on his continued growth as a player.
