For the first time in conference history, four of five members of the All-Big 12 First Team from the previous season return.
Leading the way is the 2014-15 Big 12 Player of the Year and this year’s preseason selection - Buddy Hield of Oklahoma.
Three more seniors — Rico Gathers (Baylor), Georges Niang (Iowa State) and Perry Ellis (Kansas) — along with one junior (Isaiah Taylor, Texas) make up the 2015-16 Preseason All-Big 12 Team.
Hield led the Big 12 in scoring a year ago with 17.4 points per game, increasing that to a league-best average of 18.
