10/30/2024 12:00:00 PM | Men's Basketball
LAWRENCE, Kan. – Kansas junior AJ Storr has been named to the 20-member Julius Erving Small Forward of the Year Watch List, the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame announced Wednesday.
The annual Julius Erving Award, named after the Class of 1993 Hall of Famer and 16-year professional basketball player, celebrates its 11th year by recognizing the top small forwards in Division I men's college basketball. Storr is looking to become the second Jayhawk to win the Julius Erving Small Forward of the Year as Jalen Wilson was the 2023 recipient.
Storr transferred to Kansas from Wisconsin following the 2023-24 season. The Rockford, Illinois native played his freshman year at St. John's in 2022-23. Last season, Storr was named to the 2024 All-Big Ten Second Team after he led Wisconsin with 16.8 points per game, a 43.4 field goal percentage and 81.2 free throw percentage. He was named to the 2024 Big Ten All-Tournament Team where he averaged 22.5 points in four games, including a career-high 30 points in a win against Northwestern in the quarterfinals.
Fans can support their favorite player by participating in Fan Voting starting Friday, November 1. In late January, the watch list of 20 players for the 2025 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 committees, where winners will be selected. The Selection Committees for the Julius Erving Award are composed of top men's college basketball personnel, including media members, head coaches, sports information directors and Hall of Famers.
The winner of the 2025 Erving Award will be presented on a to-be-determined date, along with the other four members of the Men's and Women's Starting Five. Additional awards being presented include the Bob Cousy Award (Point Guard), Jerry West Award (Shooting Guard), Karl Malone Award (Power Forward) and the Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Award (Center).
