(Springfield, MA) – (Jan. 26, 2021) — The Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame announced today the Top 10 candidates for the 2021 Jerry West Shooting Guard of the Year Award. Named after Class of 1980 Hall of Famer and 1959 NCAA Final Four Most Valuable Player Jerry West, the annual honor in its seventh year recognizes the top shooting guards in Division I men’s college basketball. A national committee of college basketball personnel determined the watch list of 20 candidates in November, which has now been narrowed to 10.
Editor: No player outside the ‘power seven’ conferences has ever won this award. Saint Louis University’s Jordan Goodwin, Austin Peay’s Terry Taylor and Gonzaga’s Joel Ayayi are the only players outside the ‘money conferences’ among this year’s top ten finalists.
