ROSEMONT, Ill. (AP) – Wisconsin is the unanimous pick to win the Big Ten, and the Badgers’ Frank Kaminsky is the Preseason Player of the Year.

Wisconsin returns four starters after going 30-8 and reaching the Final Four. In the vote by conference media announced Thursday, the Badgers beat out Michigan State, last year’s Big Ten tournament champion, and Ohio State.

Kaminsky averaged 13.9 points and 6.3 rebounds as a junior last season. He is joined on the all-conference team by Indiana’s Yogi Ferrell, Michigan’s Caris LeVert, Nebraska’s Terran Petteway and Wisconsin’s Sam Dekker.
