Kansas State forward Arthur Kaluma was one of 20 players named to the preseason Julius Erving Award watchlist.
The award is given to the best small forward in the country. Keyontae Johnson was named a finalist last year but did not win (it was given to Kansas' Jalen Wilson).
This season, Kaluma is one of three Big 12 players on the watchlist, joining Jalen Bridges (Baylor) and Johnny Furphy (Kansas).
Now for the important part:
Per the Kansas State athletics press release:
Fans are encouraged to participate in Fan Voting, presented by Dell Technologies, in each of the three rounds beginning Friday, October 27. In late January, the watch list of 20 players for the 2024 Julius Erving Award will be narrowed to 10, and then in late February, to just five. In March, the five finalists will be presented to Erving and the Hall of Fame’s selection committee, where a winner will be selected.
