One of the bigger national honors is the U.S. Basketball Writers Association Oscar Robertson Trophy, and Hield is one of six Big 12 players and 26 others from around the country who are on the early season watch list for that award.
The Robertson Trophy is awarded for National Player of the Year, and Hield, the reigning Big 12 Player of the Year, should be a strong candidate for the national honor. The 6-4 Sooner shooting guard from the Bahamas is off to another strong start to the season, albeit in the early going in the 2015-16 campaign.
