Final ballots for the John R. Wooden Award are a month away, so time is running out to make a big impression as the official watch list was trimmed to 20 on Wednesday.
Here at the Wooden Watch, the top five have not changed, although the order has from last week's top five. Purdue's Caleb Swanigan edged ahead of UCLA's Lonzo Ball into third place. One name appeared in the top 20 that was not included in the midseason top 25 or the preseason top 50.
Presenting the case for Marcus Keene: Central Michigan's 5-foot-9 junior guard is the most lethal pound-for-pound scorer in the nation.
