FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Rider’s Thompson named to preseason Wooden Watch List.
The list is composed of 50 student athletes who, based on last year's
individual performance and team records, are the early frontrunners for
college basketball's most coveted trophy. These top 50 candidates are
comprised of returning players. Transfers, freshmen, and medical
redshirts are not eligible for this preseason list, but will be
evaluated and considered for both the Midseason Top 30 list and the
National Ballot. Players not on the preseason list are eligible for the
midseason top 30 and ballot. Last year, Kevin Durant of the University
of Texas was the first freshman to win the Wooden Award.
