Three Gonzaga players were featured on the list of 50 preseason candidates for the 2021 Wooden Award that was announced Tuesday.
Junior Drew Timme, senior Andrew Nembhard and freshman Chet Holmgren were the trio representing the top-ranked Bulldogs, who fell one win short of a perfect season with a loss to Baylor in April's national championship game.
Timme, a 6-foot-10 forward, was named to the NCAA's all-tournament team after averaging 20.3 points, 6.5 rebounds and 3.7 assists in six postseason games last season, joining UCLA's Johnny Juzang as the two members of the 2021 all-tourney team named to the initial Wooden Top 50.
