Kentucky’s Oscar Tshiebwe and Gonzaga’s Drew Timme were unanimous selections for The Associated Press’ pre-season All-America team.
Tshiebwe was also the consensus men’s college basketball player of the year last season.
“They [NBA scouts] want my game to expand a little bit. They want me to be able to make one or two 3-pointers. They want me to catch the ball, drive and finish, and get better in dribbling,” explained Tshibwe on why he returned to Kentucky.
Tshiebwe and Timme were joined on the team by North Carolina forward Armando Bacot, Houston guard Marcus Sasser, and Indiana forward Trayce Jackson-Davis.
