BCSNN: TCU's Desmond Bane Makes Latest Cut for the Jerry West Award

The Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame announced TCU's Desmond Bane as one of the top 10 candidates for the 2020 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 sixth year recognizes the top shooting guards in Division I men's college basketball. A national committee of top college basketball personnel narrowed down the watch list from 20 to just 10 candidates.

Jerry West attended West Virginia University and averaged 24.8 points and 13.3 rebounds per game in his three varsity seasons. He led his team to the NCAA Championship game in 1959 and was named a consensus All-American in 1959 and 1960. In the summer of 1960, he was co-captain of the U.S. men's basketball team and won an Olympic gold medal.

Maybe he will start impacting games. Scoring in both halves. Not having to sit out long periods.
