When University of Hawai’i starting point guard Juan Munoz went down with a season-ending injury before the first regular season game, JoVon McClanahan stepped up and delivered.
Then about six weeks later, when the Warriors needed an offensive jolt, McClanahan again stepped up and adroitly switched his role from distributor to scorer. And all along, he was a stalwart defender while playing almost 35 minutes per game.
That clutch deliverance and consistent value throughout the season was recognized Monday afternoon when league honors were announced, as McClanahan earned a spot on the All-Big West Conference Second Team.
