Third-team All-Big 12

SR Manu Lecomte – Guard, Baylor

2017-18 stats: 16.6 ppg 2.3 rpg 3.4 apg

He’s sixth in the conference in scoring but besides a career-high 30-point effort over Oklahoma State, he’s really struggled in conference play in terms of scoring. That’s why the Bears haven’t been better in the Big 12.

FR Lindell Wigginton – Guard, Iowa State

2017-18 stats: 16.2 ppg 4.0 rpg 2.2 apg

Only two of the top 19 scorers in the conference are freshmen, with Wigginton leading the Cyclones in scoring. The future looks very bright for this program with him around.

SR Kenrich Williams – Forward, TCU

2017-18 stats: 14.4 ppg 9.6 rpg 3.9 apg

The overall best player for the Horned Frogs, Williams still amazes with his ability to rebound, currently second in the league to Bamba.

JR Dean Wade – Forward, Kansas State

2017-18 stats: 16.0 ppg 6.4 rpg 2.9 apg

Brown hasn’t been the only Wildcat to step up his game without Stokes, as Wade’s 16.0 ppg puts him in the top-10 in conference scoring. He’s always had the talent, but this has been his breakout season.

SO Udoka Azubuike – Center, Kansas

2017-18 stats: 14.4 ppg 7.7 rpg 0.7 apg

When you consider the frontcourt depth of the Jayhawks, Azubuike might be the most important big man in the league. His offense and defense has been good, as well as his ability to stay on the court when it comes to foul trouble.
