Kentucky Wildcats senior Olivier Sarr has made the watch list for the 2021 Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Award, presented annually to the nation’s best center.
Named after Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Famer Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, this year’s award will be presented at the ESPN College Basketball Awards Show in April. The award is in its seventh year of existence, and Kentucky has yet to have someone win it.
Sarr, who was granted immediately eligibility last month after transferring from Wake Forest, enjoyed a breakthrough 2019-20 season with the Demon Deacons, averaging 13.7 points, 9.
