Last year Caleb Swanigan was flat out robbed for the Karl Malone Award given by the Basketball Hall of Fame to the nation’s best Power Forward. It was given to Johnathan Motley of Baylor instead of Baylor, a huge travesty.
This year we don’t have a finalist to take that award, but we do have a finalist for the Jerry West Award, which is the same award given to the nation’s best shooting guard. Today Carsen Edwards was named as one of 10 finalists for the West Award. Even more impressive, he was not on the preseason top 20 list.
