From Rob Dauster: "The Blue Ribbon Yearbook, one of the best college basketball preseason publications on the market, has released an image of the cover of the book.
And on the cover is their preseason all-american team. Three seniors and two freshmen made the cut.
The freshmen are Kentucky’s Skal Labissiere and LSU’s Ben Simmons, the two guys that are favored to be, in some order, the first and second pick in the NBA Draft. They’re joined by Providence guard Kris Dunn, Virginia guard Malcolm Brogdon and Iowa State forward Georges Niang."
There no argument really with any of these choices but still something seems odd. The five best basketball players in the country include two freshman (when is the last time this happened?), a guard who averaged 4.2 turnovers a game last season but, to be fair, will be a draft lottery selection, another guard described as an unknown superstar who shot 42% overall in 2014-15 and 34% from beyond the arc plus a small 6-foot-7 big who used a rude statement as motivation to upgrade his body and game.
