Kansas guard Devonte' Graham (4) puts up a three over Purdue guard Dakota Mathias (31) during the first half, Thursday, March 23, 2017 at Sprint Center in Kansas City, Mo.

Kansas senior point guard Devonte’ Graham was named to the Bob Cousy watch list, given to the top point guard in the country, announced Monday by the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.

Graham, already named the Big 12’s preseason player of the year, was one of the 20 candidates for the Cousy award. Former teammate Frank Mason III won the award last year.

Last season, Graham averaged 13.4 points and 4.1 assists per game, shooting 38.8 percent from behind the 3-point line.

The Cousy watch list will be narrowed to 10 candidates in February.
