SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. – Washington State University men's basketball junior forward Josh Hawkinson has been named All-Pac-12 Honorable Mention for the second-straight year, commissioner Larry Scott announced Monday.
A native of Shoreline, Wash., Hawkinson leads Washington State with 15.6 points and 11.0 rebounds per game, ranking 10th and first in the Pac-12, respectively. Hawkinson leads the Pac-12 with 20 double-doubles and is one of just two Pac-12 players to average a double-double, while leading the league and ranking second in the NCAA with 9.4 defensive rebounds per game. Hawkinson also ranks in the Pac-12 for free throw percentage (10th), field goal percentage (sixth), minutes per game (sixth) and blocks per game (12th).
This season Hawkinson tied his WSU single-season record with 20 double-doubles with the chance to get 21 in the first round of the Pac-12 Tournament. Hawkinson also ranks third on WSU's single-season rebounding list with 307, just shy of his school record of 334 he set last season. Career-wise Hawkinson ranks ninth with 686 career rebounds, third with 40 double-doubles and 14th for field goal percentage (.521).
Last season Hawkinson was also named All-Pac-12 Honorable Mention, as well as Pac-12 Most Improved Player of the Year. He is the 21st Cougar to earn all-conference honorable mention, as it marks the 24th time a student-athlete has earned the accolades.
The Cougars continue their season as they enter the 2016 Pac-12 Tournament as the No. 12 seed and take on No. 5 Colorado, Wednesday, March 9 at 2:40 p.m. at MGM Grand Garden Arena.
The Pac-12 Player of the Year, Freshman of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year, Most Improved Player of the Year, Scholar-Athlete of the Year and Coach of the Year will be unveiled Monday, March 7 by the Pac-12 Networks on Pac-12 Sports Report that airs at 6 p.m. PT/9 p.m. ET.
