Updated Mr. Basketball Watchlist
In this article:
Who will win the prestigious Mr. Basketball Award this season?
In early February, PHD put out a Mr. Basketball Watchlist with 25 players on it.
We have trimmed the list and are now down to 15 ballers on PHD's Mr. Basketball Watchlist!
See below for team records and player stats.
In the coming weeks, we will trim the list down further and get the number below 10.
As a voting member of the NDAPSSA, it is always fun thinking ahead to who some of the Mr. Basketball candidates might be. This is an unprecedented year, as we have never had 3 Classes in North Dakota before. I am interested to see how many Mr. Basketball Candidates we have this March.
A few things to remember about the Mr. Basketball award: The North Dakota Associated Press Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association (NDAPSSA) members are the people who vote for this award. Players can come from Class AA, A, and Class B. The award can only go to a senior. This is not supposed to be a career award, it is based solely on the senior year. Let's take a look at the players…
