LAS CRUCES, N.M. – New Mexico State's Pascal Siakam has been selected as one of the ten watch list finalists for the 2016 Karl Malone Power Forward of the Year Award. The list was announced by the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame on Thursday morning in Springfield, Mass.
The award is named after Hall of Famer and two-time NBA Most Valuable Player Karl Malone and the annual honor in its second year recognizes the top power forwards in Division I men's college basketball. A national committee comprised of top college basketball personnel determined a watch list of 20 candidates in October, which has now been narrowed to ten.
