Xavier basketball standout Trevon Bluiett was named Monday to the 2017-18 Oscar Robertson Trophy Preseason watch list.
The Oscar Robertson Trophy watch list is presented annually by the U.S. Basketball Writer's Association of America board of directors and named Bluiett the No. 7 vote-getter outside of the Associated Press Preseason All-America team.
Xavier alum David West of the NBA's Golden State Warriors earned Associated Press and USBWA National Player of the Year honors in 2003.
The preseason accolade is just the latest for Bluiett, who was named a preseason All-Big East First Team selection.
Bluiett is also on the watch list for the Julius Erving Award and a spot on numerous other preseason All-America teams, including a second-team selection by NBC Sports and Athlon Sports and third team by ESPN, Street & Smith's, Blue Ribbon Basketball and College Sports Madness.
