By ADAM ZAGORIA

Seton Hall senior Myles Powell, Georgia freshman Anthony Edwards and Kentucky sophomore Tyrese Maxey headline the preseason Jerry West Watch List for the nation’s top shooting guard.

Edwards is a projected top-3 pick in the 2020 NBA Draft.

Powell is one of four Big East players on the list, along with St. John’s Mustapha Heron, Butler’s Kamar Baldwin and Creighton’s Ty-Shon Alexander.

There are also three New Jersey natives in Powell, Breein Tyree of Ole Miss and T.J. Gibbs of Notre Dame.
