Landesberg named to Wooden Watch List

Contributors

Virginia sophomore guard Sylven Landesberg (Flushing, N.Y.) is one of 50 players named as preseason candidates for the 2009-10 John R. Wooden Award All-American Team and Player of the Year trophy. The preseason candidates were announced Wednesday (Aug. 19) by Richard “Duke” Llewellyn, Wooden Award Chairman and founder. 

Last season, Landesberg led the Cavaliers in scoring (16.6 ppg) as a freshman. He also averaged 6.0 rebounds and 2.8 assists a game. Landesberg was the ACC Rookie of the Year and was a second-team Freshman All-America selection by CBSSports.com and CollegeHoops.net.

Transfers, freshmen and medical red-shirts are not eligible for the preseason list. These players and others who excel throughout the season will be evaluated and considered for December’s midseason list and the official voting ballot released in March.

In late December, the Wooden Award Committee will release the Midseason Top 30 list, followed in March by the National Ballot, consisting of approximately 20 top players. The Wooden Award All-American Team will be announced the week of the “Elite Eight” round during the NCAA Tournament.

The 34th annual Wooden Award ceremony, which will include the announcement of the Men’s and Women’s Wooden Award winners, and the presentation of the Wooden Award All-American Teams and the Legends of Coaching Award, will take place the weekend of April 9-11, 2010.
