1. Oscar Tshiebwe,\u00a0<\/strong>Kentucky: Reigning national champ poised to win back-to-back.<\/p>\n

2. Drew Timme,<\/strong>\u00a0Gonzaga: Timme will have even more responsibility and an even better chance to be player of the year.<\/p>\n

3. Marcus Sasser,<\/strong>\u00a0Houston: Sasser came back and could lead the Cougars to their second Final Four in three seasons.<\/p>\n

4. Armando Bacot,<\/strong>\u00a0North Carolina: Bacot came back to win a title. He was within a few minutes last season. He should be a dominating force this season.<\/p>\n

5. Trayce Jackson-Davis,\u00a0<\/strong>Indiana: TJD led the Hoosiers to the NCAA tournament. The Hoosiers got a win. He\u2019s back for more \u2014 notably a Big Ten title and a Final Four berth.<\/p>\n

Second team:<\/h3>\n

6. Jaime Jaquez Jr.,<\/strong>\u00a0UCLA: Jaquez will be the focal point of a possible title team. He\u2019s ready to handle the scoring load. He\u2019s got the leadership to do it.<\/p>\n

7. Mike Miles, Jr.,<\/strong>\u00a0TCU: The preseason Big 12 player of the year can lead the Horned Frogs to a Big 12 title. He\u2019s going to be must-see this season.<\/p>\n

8. Hunter Dickinson,\u00a0<\/strong>Michigan: The big man is going to have a monster season for Juwan Howard and that will mean the Wolverines will be in the Big Ten chase.<\/p>\n

9. Jalen Wilson,<\/strong>\u00a0Kansas: Bill Self has done a tremendous job of seeing players develop into Big 12 player of the years and NBA prospects. He\u2019s got another one in Wilson.<\/p>\n

10. Nick Smith Jr.,\u00a0<\/strong>Arkansas: Smith is likely going to be the best freshman in the country on a top-10 team. He\u2019s going to get plenty of touches and lead the Hogs to a top 3-4 SEC finish.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
