Markis McDuffie, junior forward for the Shockers, was included as one of the 20 members on the Julius Erving Small Forward of the Year Award, announced Wednesday.
A national committee selects an initial list of 20 candidates.
Five finalists will be presented to Julius Erving and the Hall of Fame’s selection committee in March, after a committee narrows the list to 10 in February. The Naismith Hall of Fame will present the winner at the ESPN College Basketball Awards in Los Angeles in April.
