We’re over halfway through with the season, which means the various national media outlets are releasing their midseason awards. Our pal Aaron Torres at Fox Sports released his this morning, and I think you’ll agree with two of his selections. Torres named Malik Monk and De’Aaron Fox Second Team Midseason All-Americans, noting that we probably don’t appreciate Fox as much as we should because his play has been somewhat overshadowed by Monk’s flashy numbers.
“Monk has been a star for the Wildcats and with a 21.4 point-per-game average, he could become the highest-scoring freshman ever to play under John Calipari (which sure is saying something),” Torres writes.
