The 15-player national ballot for the John R. Wooden Award was revealed Saturday, with two standouts from top-ranked Gonzaga among those on the list.

Junior forward Drew Timme, who helped power the Zags to a national championship game appearance last season, and freshman phenom Chet Holmgren are the two Bulldogs on the ballot. The 6-foot-10 Timme leads the 24-3 Zags with 17.6 points per game while also averaging 6.4 rebounds and 2.7 assists. Timme was named the WCC Player of the Year on Thursday.
