Curtis Jones Named to Jerry West Award Top 10

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. – Iowa State senior Curtis Jones has been named a Top 10 candidate for the Jerry West Award.

The annual Jerry West Award, named after the late Class of 1980 Hall of Famer and 1959 NCAA Final Four Most Valuable Player, celebrates its 11th year by highlighting the top shooting guards in Division I men's college basketball.

The leading scorer for the Cyclones, Jones is averaging 17.4 points, 4.7 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game. Jones had a streak of 22-straight Big 12 regular season games where he scored in double figures earlier this season, the longest streak in the league in over five years and the 16th longest in league history. Jones scored a career-high 33 points at Arizona State on Jan. 25, as he was named the Dickie V National Player of the Week.

Fans are encouraged to participate in Fan Voting in both of the remaining rounds starting on Friday, February 7, on hoophallawards.com. The Fan Vote will count as one committee vote during the finalist selection process.

In March, the Top 10 list will be narrowed to just five, and in late March, the five finalists will be presented to West's family and the Hall of Fame's selection committees, where the winner will be selected. The Selection Committee for the Jerry West Award is composed of top men's college basketball personnel, including media members, head coaches, sports information directors, and Hall of Famers.

The winner of the 2025 West Award will be presented on a to-be-determined date, along with the other four members of the Men's Starting Five. Additional awards being presented include the Bob Cousy Award (Point Guard), Julius Erving Award (Small Forward), Karl Malone Award (Power Forward) and the Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Award (Center).
