Preseason Wooden Award Top-50
The Wooden Award, college basketball’s highest individual honor, released it’s list of the Top-50 players in the 2009-10 season. There are a ton of good players on this list and I would imagine we will see a freshmen or two on the final list.
Notre Dame’s Senior Forward, Luke Harangody, looks to be the early favorite to win the award. Here are seven of my “need-to-know” that we will need to pay attention to throughout the season.
- Manny Harris, Michigan Guard
- Luke Babbit, Nevada Forward
- Matt Bouldin, Gonzaga Guard
- E’Twaun Moore, Purdue Guard
- Tasmin Mitchell, LSU Guard
- Craig Brackins, Iowa State Forward
- Evan Turner, OSU Forward

Watch out for Isaiah Thomas, the little man had an excellent freshman year and can only get better. I also have to give some love to another little guard from Kansas, Sherron Collins, who had some brilliant performances in the NCAA Tourney and throughout the regular season. Finally I think a major sleeper will be Willie Warren. He could’ve been a lottery pick for the NBA but decided to stay (smart choice for him). I think these three players will get some definite consideration among the obvious choices like Harongody and Aminu.
