Mr. Wilson's All-B1G Team

This has been one of the better B1G basketball seasons that I can remember. A lot of good, close games, and impressive performances from all teams and players. These are the players that have stood out to me as the best in the conference.

PG-Trey Burke-Michigan(Conference Stats: 15.6 points per game, 4.5 assists per game) Coming into the season, this position was expected to be locked down by Jordan Taylor. However, Trey Burke has been the most consistent point guard during B1G play. He's been his best in big games. Including making game winning plays down the stretch in numerous games. As a Spartan fan, I really hope this kid leaves soon. Very impressive player.

SG-William Buford-Ohio State(14.0 ppg, 5.7 rebounds per game) The shooting guard position in the B1G has been one of the more inconsistently played positions in the conference. Even though Buford has disappeared at times, he has still been the best shooting guard in the conference. An excellent scorer, and tough defender, he is a big reason that OSU has a chance at a piece of the conference championship.

SF-Draymond Green-Michigan State(16.5 ppg, 10.5 rpg) My pick for the B1G player of the year, and should be a first team All-American. In conference play, he is in the top 10 in scoring, rebounding, assists, steals, field goal percentage, and 3 point percentage. He has been the best player on arguably the best team in the B1G.  An easy pick at this position. Michigan State will really miss him after this season.

PF- Jared Sullinger-Ohio State(17.5 ppg, 9.7 rpg) Sullinger came into the season as the favorite to win the conference player of the year. He has played well, but hasn't dominated on the level that he was expected to. His play and composure will determine how far OSU goes come tournament time.

C- Cody Zeller-Indiana(15.6 ppg, 5.9 rpg) Another freshman making the all-conference team. Zeller has been a big part of Indiana winning games against Kentucky, Ohio State, and Michigan State. His presence in the middle has made it easier for the cast of perimeter shooters on IU. He is another one that I hope doesn't stick around too long.

Well there is my team. Any players that you would replace, or disagree with? Comment and let me know. Ya'll be easy.

I'm Jimmy L. Wilson, Jr. and I approve this message.
