The preseason honors and attention hasn’t slowed down for Providence’s Kris Dunn. After being named the #1 player in college basketball in 2015-16 by CBS Sports on Monday, Dunn was named to the preseason watch list for the 2016 Bob Cousy Award — given to top point guard in college basketball each season. Dunn joins 19 other players on the preseason watch list. He was also on the in-season watch list last season announced on February 20th, along with 16 other players. Utah’s Delon Wright won the award in 2015. No Providence player has ever won the award that was established in 2003 with Jameer Nelson of St. Joseph’s winning the inaugural award.
