Which Hoosier on our roster has the best shot

[GeorgeStrait IU]

to finish first team all B1G?

Mgbako has come out hot, Rice has a outsiders chance. Ballo if he averages 13-10-2.5?

 

[Cavanagh]

Mack, rice and Malik. In that order

 

[RickyRoe]

Ballo is the best true center in the Big Ten by a wide margin, if they go by positions and not just the top 5 players. His only competition really is Ivisic for Illinois and Bittle for Oregon, but it's too early to tell. Dawson Garcia is probably the best player capable of playing center, and maybe Owen Freeman if he keeps this up, but Ballo is really the only proven true center right now.

But Mack probably has the best chance to make the All-B10 team because I think he can keep up this 20+ ppg pace.

In order:

Mac
Myles
Malik
Oumar

 

[IUNorth]

In order...

Ballo
Mgbako
Reneau
Rice

I think its unlikely Rice gets it over Smith. So PG v PG, pretty unlikely. He could get it as a 2nd guard, but the Illinois foreign kid will be tough to beat out, Thornton from OSU, Harper at Rutgers, amongst others.

Reneau and Mack will have competitive numbers, but again, they're going to be competing with guys like Sandfort, Bailey, Garcia, etc...

Ballo, if he averages close to a double double, will likely be viewed as the best true "center', and that could get him in over some of other bigs that will be considered.

If all goes according to plan...
*1st Team - Mgbako
*Somewhere between 2nd Team and Honorable Mention - Reneau, Rice, Ballo
*Def. POY - Ballo
*6th Man of the Year - Galloway
*Freshman 1st Team - Tucker

Conceivably, IU has FOUR players with 1st Team All-B1G potential. No excuses, Woody.
