Gonzaga Bulldogs freshman Hunter Sallis is the second Zag to hear his name on the preseason award ring circuit. The young guard was named to the Jerry West Award Watch List today.
Sallis was a McDonald’s All-American and ranked the No. 6 player in the Class of 2021. He averaged 22.2 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 3.8 assists per game as a senior at Millard North High School in Nebraska.
Sallis is bound to be an impact player this season, but how big of an impact remains to be seen. Even with the injury to Dominick Harris, the Zags backcourt has a lot of talent in Andrew Nembhard, Rasir Bolton, and Nolan Hickman.
