Washington State forward Josh Hawkinson was named All-Pac-12 Honorable Mention for the second consecutive season.

The junior from Shoreline, Washington, averaged 15.6 points and 11.0 rebounds, which ranked No. 10 and No. 1 in the Pac-12, respectively. He tied his own school with 20 double-doubles, which also leads the conference.

Hawkinson also ranks No. 12 in the conference in blocks per game, No. 6 in field goal percentage and minutes per game, and No. 10 in free throw percentage. Last season Hawkinson was named the Pac-12's Most Improved Player, in addition to honorable mention honors.

A WSU men's basketball player has been named honorable mention all-conference 24 times in the program's history, with 21 different players earning the honor.

Below are the entire postseason honors and awards.
