Junior point guard Talor Battle continues to add to his preseason recognition, as he was named to the Naismith Trophy Preseason Watch List.
The 50 person list was composed Atlanta Tipoff Club's Board of Selectors, and features 33 upperclassmen and five Big Ten players. Joining Battle are Purdue's Robbie Hummel, Ohio State's Evan Turner, Michigan's Manny Harris and Michigan State point guard Kalin Lucas.
The Naismith Trophy is presented annually during the Final Four to the men's College Player of the Year, and past winners have included David Robinson, Michael Jordan, Bill Walton, Larry Bird, Kevin Durant and last year's winner, Blake Griffin. Battle was also listed a nominee for the Wooden Award earlier this year.
