Left off virtually every preseason player of the year list, Kentucky men’s basketball junior forward Nick Richards has earned his way on to the midseason watch list for the 2020 Citizen Naismith Trophy, awarded annually by the Atlanta Tipoff Club to the national player of the year.

Ten national semifinalists will be announced on March 5 and four finalists will be unveiled on March 17. The 2020 Citizen Naismith Trophy will be awarded at the Naismith Awards Brunch on April 5, during the Final Four in Atlanta.

Anthony Davis, who collected nearly every major national player of the year award in 2012, is the lone Wildcat to win the Naismith Trophy in Kentucky’s decorated history.

Richards is not only enjoying the most productive season of his career, he's producing one of college basketball's best stories of the season. After averaging 4.5 points, 3.9 rebounds and 1.1 blocks over 13.4 minutes a game in the first two seasons of his career, he has emerged as a leading candidate for Southeastern Conference Player of the Year and All-America honors.
