Turner was awarded the Naismith Trophy last weekend in Indianapolis. Other finalists were Collins, Wall and Johnson.

“Sherron has won a lot of postseason accolades since our season has been over,” KU coach Bill Self said of the consensus All-American. “They (voters) respect what he’s done, not just this year, but over his career. Being a Naismith finalist — one of the top four — and of course a Wooden finalist is something you dream of when you are coming out of Chicago four years ago. I think it means a lot to him, but our program as well.”
