Seniors Kyle Wiltjer of Gonzaga, Georges Niang of Iowa State and Buddy Hield of Oklahoma have been selected to The Associated Press preseason All-American team.
Junior Kris Dunn of Providence and freshman Ben Simmons of LSU round out the team released Monday.
Wiltjer, who averaged 16.7 points and 6.0 rebounds last season, was the leading vote-getter, receiving 51 votes from the 65-member national media panel.
Niang averaged 15.3 points, 5.4 rebounds and 3.4 assists for the Cyclones last season. Dunn averaged 15.6 points, 5.5 rebounds, 7.5 assists and 2.7 steals while Hield averaged 17.5 points and 5.5 rebounds for the Sooners.
This is the third straight preseason All-America team to have a freshman on it. Simmons, a 6-foot-10 native of Australia, is considered by many the top recruit in the country. He had averages of 28.0 points, 11.9 rebounds and 4.0 assists as a high school senior in Florida.
