Kris Dunn Among 20 on Latest Wooden Award Watch List

The Wooden Award chopped their list of players in consideration from 25 to 20 on Wednesday. There were a couple names added that weren’t on the list of 25 players, but Kris Dunn continues to be cited as a candidate for this prestigious award.  The John R.
