On Tuesday, the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame announced the 10 finalists for the Ann Meyers-Drysdale Award, given annually to the top shooting guard in the country. After an outstanding debut season for the Ohio State Buckeyes, it’s no surprise to see guard Taylor Mikesell’s name on the list.
Mikesell joined Ohio State after transferring from the Oregon Ducks, and is having a career performance in terms of scoring in her senior season. Currently, Mikesell leads the nation in field goal percentage from three-point range, making 49.1% of shots from deep. Within the Big Ten conference, Mikesell leads all players with 82 made threes.
