The 5’8” guard has exploded in January to help the Wildcats get off to a stunning 4–0 start in the Big 12.
Trae Young. Ja Morant. Markquis Nowell?
The first two guards on that list are NBA All-Stars who put up record-setting numbers in their short college careers. The third is a fifth-year senior point guard on the team picked last in the Big 12 in the preseason, a generously listed 5’8” floor general who had zero Division I offers during his senior year of high school. But after the week Nowell just had for Kansas State, he now belongs in the same sentence as two of the best players on the planet.
