The top 16 watch list for the Karl Malone Award, given to the nation’s top power forward, has been announced.

The only issue I have with this list is that Arizona’s Rondae Hollis-Jefferson is on it. He’s not a power forward, even if he plays like it sometimes. He’s a small forward and has even gotten some work as a backup point guard for the Wildcats this season.

Anyway, here is the list of 16 power forwards nominated:

Perry Ellis, Kansas
Rico Gathers, Baylor
Montrezl Harrell, Louisville
Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, Arizona
David Laury, Iona
Jake Layman, Maryland
Kevon Looney, UCLA
Jordan Mickey, LSU
Justin Moss, Buffalo
Larry Nance Jr., Wyoming
Georges Niang, Iowa State
Myles Turner, Texas
Seth Tuttle, Northern Iowa
Aaron White, Iowa
Kyle Wiltjer, Gonzaga
Christian Wood, UNLV
