The new college hoops season is about to begin. That means award watch lists are starting to come out, and you can bet the Kentucky Wildcats will be on many of them.
Up first is freshman guard Tyler Herro, who was named to the 2019 Jerry West Award Preseason Watch List. Herro is among 20 players on the watch list for the award named after Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Famer Jerry West, which honors the nation’s top shooting guard.
A big reason why Herro made this list was his performance in the Bahamas, where he was far and away the best scorer that any team had there.
