Ohio State's Evan Turner was chosen Friday night over Kentucky freshman John Wall, Syracuse's Wesley Johnson, West Virginia forward Da'Sean Butler and Kansas guard Sherron Collins for the 34th John R. Wooden Award at the Los Angeles Athletic Club, according to an CBSSports.com report.

The Big Ten's Player of the Year averaged 20.4 points, 9.2 rebounds and 6.0 assists while making more than 52 percent of his shots and leading the Buckeyes to the regional semifinals of the NCAA tournament.

Turner announced Tuesday he's skipping his senior season to enter the NBA Draft.
