Kendall Williams Named to Bob Cousy Final Watch List
The Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame announced today the 23 watch list finalists for the 2014 Bob Cousy Collegiate Point Guard of the Year Award. Named after Hall of Famer and former Boston Celtic Bob Cousy, the annual honor recognizes the top point guards in men’s college basketball. The original watch list of 80 candidates was narrowed down to the below list of 23 by a nationally based committee.
“The 23 athletes on this list represent the most committed, determined and skillful point guards
in college basketball,” said John L. Doleva, President and CEO of the Basketball Hall of Fame.
“We are honored to be recognizing their strengths and are excited to move forward in the
selection process.”
“The men on this list all have the athletic qualities of an exceptional true point guard in the
game of college basketball, the same qualities that made Mr. Cousy an iconic player,” said
Ken Kaufman, Chair of the Bob Cousy Award and former president of the National Association
of Basketball Coaches (NABC). “All of these young men are on this list because they deserve
to be competing for this well-respected award.”
Williams is currently fifth in the Mountain West in scoring at 17.2 points per game, and he is leading the league in assists (5.0) and steals (1.8). He is also fifth in the league in assist/turnover ratio at 2.4-to-1
Beginning Tuesday February 18th through Monday March 10th, fans from around the country will have the chance to vote for the top point guard in college basketball – fan voting begins on www.cousyaward.com at 10:00AM EST. The current listing of 23 finalists for the 2014 Bob Cousy Award will be narrowed down to five players by early March.
