Big 12 Basketball: 2018-19 preseason all-conference and awards predictions
By Chris Kern
Big 12 Basketball has talented players on every team. With a lot of star players leaving it’ll be up to the new guys to step up in a big way.
The Kansas Jayhawks are the favorites yet again with many returning players as well as some talented newcomers.
They might not have NBA talent at every school but there’s a lot of quality players on every roster. Last year you had Tray Young at Oklahoma and Mo Bamba at Texas.
Many teams lost their key players from a year ago so some could try and say it will be a “down” year for the Big 12. Stars like Keenan Evans at Texas Tech, Jevon Carter at WVU, and Devonte’ Graham at Kansas are all gone.
Last season it seemed like each team had star point guards but now we got a lot of new faces at that spots. They’re all still very talented it’s just gonna take some time for them to make a big impact like the guys they’re replacing did.
Many new faces and returning faces will win these awards. Every team, one through ten has a guy who could bring home some hardware. The depth in this league makes it such a competitive conference.
There are a variety of awards that will be given out. Here are the guys who will bring home the hardware at the end of the season.
