RJ Barrett Steals Jerry West Award from Carsen Edwards

This was a blatant robbery.

Blatant.

Tonight the Hoops Hall announced it positional awards for college basketball given to the best player at each of the five positions. Carsen Edwards from Purdue not only was a finalist for the Jerry West Award (given to the nation’s best shooting guard), he was the REIGNING winner for it.

Naturally, it was given to R.J. Barrett of Duke.

Let’s face there is one reason Barrett got the award and one reason only: he played for Duke. Aside from that, ther eis not a valid excuse for what was a blatant robbery.
