The Badgers added another senior to a preseason watch list this morning. Wisconsin big man Micah Potter was named to the 2021 Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Award watch list for the best center in college basketball, a list that includes 20 bigs from around the nation.
A full season of Micah Potter?
Yes, please… count us in! 😤
Congrats to @BigJam_23 on being named to the #KareemAward Center of the Year Watch List!

Wisconsin basketball has history with the award, most recently in 2019. In the six years that the award has been around, Badgers have won it twice: Ethan Happ in 2019 and Frank Kaminsky in 2015.
The clear favorite for this year’s award also comes out of the Big Ten conference. Last year’s Big Ten Player of the Year Luka Garza will look to lead Iowa to a deep March run, and look to take home the Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Award in the process.
