Good for him. Kid deserves it! He scored more than the star quarterback on prom night for us this year.

What is it for?

Best shooting guard I think

 

[Cat Ballou]

Even sweeter that he beat out old hair-flip "grew up a UK Fan" Luke Kennard.

 

[catrecruit]

That's awesome...thought for sure they'd give it to Jordan Spieth....err...Luke Kennard

 

[true blue1]

Love that kid. He will be a NBA All star!

 

[Fancatstik]

Wow he beat Hart out. Nice.

Wow he beat Hart out. Nice.

Yeah, very happy for him that he won this award, but am pretty shocked he beat those 2 for it....

 

[Fancatstik]

Wow he beat Hart out. Nice.

Oh never mind, Hart is up for small forward award.

 

[Mojocat]

Oh never mind, Hart is up for small forward award.

Ha. Ok, then I'm not surprised he beat Hart. Still surprised he beat Kennard.......

 

[caneintally]

Nope Hart is the SF of the year but that is what I thought as well.

 

[YouKay]

Wow!!! Thanks to everyone who voted!



(Sorry I didn't see it posted earlier!)

First UK player to ever win it

 

[TexKat]

I bet this award doesn't impress ole LeVar since it's named after a slow white boy from the hills!

Grats to Monk!

 

[Jazzycat]

Congrats to Malik Monk! We will miss him next year, but I know he will make a huge splash in the NBA.

I think the Jerry West award has only been around for 2-3 years.

 

[Bigblueforever]

Great kid hate to see him leave.

 

[Aike]

Awesome. I missed this last night. Didn't watch because I thought our guys would get shafted.

You are correct, this is only the 3rd year, Hield won it last year. Congrats to Malik for taking the honor home this year.

Yes, just found that out, 3rd yr. It's based off the bob cousy award which started in 04, so they created one for all 5 positions...bob cousy, Jerry West, Julius erving, Karl Malone, and Abdul Jabar

One of the most exciting players in UK history. Physicality off the charts with a show time mentality. Did even the simple moves with a flair. Wis him all the success in the world in the next step in his career. Thanks Malik.
