BOULDER – University of Colorado senior Josh Scott was named to the 2016 Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Center of the Year Award watch list, the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame announced on Friday.
A member of the watch list for the second time, Scott is one of 20 players selected to the group by a national committee. The award is named after Hall of Famer and three-time NCAA champion Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who played for John Wooden at UCLA from 1966-69.
Scott averaged 14.5 points and 8.4 rebounds while shooting a team-best 54.4 percent from the field as a junior.
