WVU’s Javon Small has been named to The Sporting News Midseason All-American second-team, released Wednesday.

Small is the leading scorer in the Big 12, averaging 19.5 points per game to go along with 5.1 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 1.8 steals.

“Small took a detour from ECU through OK State on his way to Morgantown, and he averaged better than 15 points in each of his past two years. But nothing suggested heโ€™d rank among the best guards in the Big 12,” Mike DeCourcy of The Sporting News writes. “Small is filling every category with big numbers โ€“ and WVU has recovered beautifully from an embarrassing early season loss at Pitt.”

The accolades have been rolling in for Small this week, as on Monday he was named both the Big 12 Player of the Week and one of the the Oscar Robertson Award National Players of the Week.

Small guided the No. 23 Mountaineers (13-4, 4-2 Big 12) to a win over then-No. 2 Iowa State on Saturday, scoring 27 points with seven rebounds, five assists and four steals.
