McLaughlin Named To 2018 Cousy Award Watch List
October 16, 2017 | Men's Basketball, Features
USC senior Jordan McLaughlin was one of 20 players named to the preseason watch list for the Bob Cousy Award as the nation's top point guard. The award is named after the Hall of Famer and former Boston Celtic and Holy Cross guard Bob Cousy and recognizes the top point guards in Division I men's college basketball.
"These 20 student-athletes truly represent the best in the college game today and we are eager to see what they will achieve in the 2017-18 season," said John L. Doleva, President and CEO of the Basketball Hall of Fame. "They exhibit many of the characteristics that made Bob Cousy a tremendous floor general and we are pleased to be recognizing them."
McLaughlin, a three-year team captain, averaged 12.9 points, 3.6 rebounds and 5.5 assists during the 2016-17 season. He ranks second on USC's all-time career assists list with 457 and 22nd on its all-time scoring list with 1,188 points. McLaughlin was the only men's college basketball player last season to record at least three assists in every game his team played. McLaughlin ranks first in career assists, first in career steals (141), second in career points and third in career three-point baskets made (131) among returning Pac-12 players.
By mid-February, the watch list of 20 players for the 2018 Bob Cousy Award will be narrowed to 10. In March, five finalist will be presented to Mr. Cousy and the Hall of Fame's selection committee. The winner of the award will be presented at the ESPN College Basketball Awards Show presented by Wendy's in Los Angeles, Calif. on April 6, 2018.
