Before playing a minute of college basketball, Kentucky freshman B.J. Boston has made the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame's preseason watch list as one of the top small forwards in Division I.
Boston is among the 20 preseason contenders for the Julius Erving Small Forward of the Year Award.
There's a long way to go before the award is presented April 9, and small forwards can play their way in and out of contention throughout the season, but Boston's potential was recognized by the national committee of top college basketball personnel that determined the preseason candidates.
