Cassius Winston is the Big Ten Player of the Year.
Let’s take a minute while Michigan State fans say, “No kidding,” and Michigan fans spit out their coffee and bring up the point Wolverines point guard Zavier Simpson has had Winston’s number in previous matchups.
And while we have yet to reach the halfway point of the conference season, let’s also acknowledge Purdue’s Carsen Edwards, Wisconsin’s Ethan Happ, Michigan’s Ignas Brazdeikis and Nebraska’s James Palmer Jr. There’s probably a few more names that can be thrown in that mix, but those players all have been exceptional at times this season.
