Kentucky's Oscar Tshiebwe, Gonzaga's Chet Holmgren and Wisconsin's Johnny Davis are among the finalists for the 2021-22 John Wooden Award.

The 15 players who will appear on the ballot were announced Saturday:

Ochai Agbaji (Kansas)
Paolo Banchero (Duke)
Kofi Cockburn (Illinois)
Johnny Davis (Wisconsin)
Collin Gillespie (Villanova)
Chet Holmgren (Gonzaga)
Jaden Ivey (Purdue)
Johnny Juzang (UCLA)
Walker Kessler (Auburn)
E.J. Liddell (Ohio State)
Bennedict Mathurin (Arizona)
Keegan Murray (Iowa)
Jabari Smith (Auburn)
Drew Timme (Gonzaga)
Oscar Tshiebwe (Kentucky)

Tshiebwe is considered the overwhelming favorite as he's broken out as a two-way menace during his junior season. The Congo-born forward is averaging 16.9 points, 15.3 rebounds, 1.8 steals and 1.5 blocks to lead seventh-ranked Kentucky to a 24-6 record.

DraftKings lists Tshiebwe as a -300 favorite, with Davis (+700) the only other player within relative striking distance.
