The Naismith Award is handed out annually each year to honor college basketball’s Player of The Year.
On Thursday, the committee announced that 50 players have been nominated to the preseason Naismith award watch list just as the 2017-18 season is about to tipoff.
University of North Carolina point guard Joel Berry was the only Tar Heels player to be named to the 50-player list, racking up some more preseason accolades.
This preseason accolade is the latest for the senior point guard who was named to the Oscar Robertson Award watch list just a few days ago.
