The Pac-12βs most interesting award this season might be Freshman of the Year, rather than Player of the Year. Markkanen will be challenged by Washington point guardΒ Markelle Fultz, who is averaging 32.5 points per game; Cal guardΒ Charlie Moore, who scored 38 against UC Irvine last week; and UCLAβsΒ T.J. LeafΒ andΒ Lonzo Ball. Leaf is averaging 20 points and 10 rebounds and Ball is averaging 15 points, 7.7 rebounds and 8.3Β assists. Of course, once those five begin playing against Top 50-type teams, their numbers will likely shrink.Β
Pac-12 Freshman of the Year will be one intriguing race
