Twenty student-athletes were named to the 2020 Julius Erving Small Forward of the Year Award Watch List on Wednesday afternoon, as announced by the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.

One of those players was Gators freshman and former McDonald's All-American, Scottie Lewis, who previously earned a roster spot for the USA Nike Hoop Summit as well.
