The UCLA Basketball team received another preseason award as Thomas Welsh is among 20 college basketball centers named to the Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Award watch list.
This is the fourth individual award UCLA has received heading into the 2016–17 season. Seniors Bryce Alford and Isaac Hamilton, as well as true freshman Lonzo Ball, have all been named to their own preseason lists.
Welsh will be the go-to big man down low this season. After two years, he is filling into his role nicely.
