Big Ten 2018-19 basketball preview: Purdue

Carsen Edwards | Junior, Guard

The preseason honors rolled in for Edwards in the month leading up to the start of the 2018-19 season. He was one of two unanimous selections to the All-Big Ten team (Wisconsin’s Ethan Happ being the other) and was named the league’s Preseason Player of the Year. The 6-foot-1 Texan was also one of six players named a preseason All-American by The Associated Press. That’s what happens when you average 18.5 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game as a sophomore and should have the ball even more the next season.
