KU coach Bill Self sees Big 12 player of year as ‘three-man race’ | The Kansas City Star

Kansas basketball coach Bill Self is not ready to crown early-season and midseason favorite Trae Young as 2017-18 Big 12 Conference player of the year.

“I think what was a slam dunk three weeks ago is a three-man race now,” Self said Wednesday on his weekly Hawk Talk radio show. “I really believe that. Any of the three in my opinion could win, any of the three.”

Self listed Oklahoma point guard Young, KU point guard Devonté Graham and Texas Tech lead guard Keenan Evans as the three logical candidates at this point of the season.

“In my opinion, I think it’s up in the air,” Self stated.
