STANFORD, Calif. – All-Pac-12 standout Josh Sharma has been selected to play in the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) College All-Star Game, featuring 20 of the nation's most outstanding seniors in NCAA Division I men's basketball.
The College All-Star Game will be held this Friday (April 5) at 1:30 p.m. PT on the court at the NCAA Final Four at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The game is free to attend and open to the public. The contest will be televised on CBS Sports Network.
Sharma was selected to the 10-man West All-Star Team following a standout senior season on The Farm. The center, who was a candidate for the Pac-12's Most Improved Player Award, established a school record for field goal percentage in a season. His mark of .673 was not only a program record, it was the eighth-best field goal percentage in a season in Pac-12 history. Sharma completed his standout career eighth on Stanford's field goal percentage list, shooting .563 for his career.
The Cardinal senior was an All-Pac-12 Honorable Mention selection as a senior, after finishing the year as the conference's field goal percentage leader and ranking in the top-10 in the league in offensive rebounds (3rd, 2.6 orpg), blocks (7th, 1.4 bpg) and rebounds (9th, 7.1 rpg). He averaged 11.3 ppg and 8.2 rpg during Pac-12 play, posting double-doubles in five of his final seven games. Sharma averaged 14.7 ppg and 11.1 rpg over those final seven contests.
Sharma collected Pac-12 Player of the Week honors twice during the season. The Cardinal senior was first recognized in late December after a 23-point, 18-rebound performance in the win over Long Beach State. He was honored again after posting a double-double in a sweep of UCLA and USC in February.
