One day after winning the Lute Olson National Player of the Year Award, and two days after declaring early for the NBA Draft where he is a projected lottery pick, Wisconsin Badgers sophomore guard Johnny Davis won the 2022 Jerry West Award, which is given annually to the best shooting guard in the country.
In 31 games this season, Davis, a first-team All-American, averaged 19.7 points, 8.2 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.2 steals per contest while leading Wisconsin to a share of the Big Ten regular season title in a season where they were picked to finish tenth (in the conference, not the nation) in the preseason media poll.
