Marcus Fuller's starting five
Guard: Dennis Smith Jr. • N.C. State
Knee injuries wiped away his senior season in high school, but this explosive freshman is ready to show why he can be the nation's top point guard prospect.
Guard: Grayson Allen • Duke
Allen, a 6-5 junior, is the preseason favorite to win national player of the year, because he's likely to be the leading scorer for the No. 1-ranked Blue Devils.
Forward: Miles Bridges • Mich. St.
No player in college basketball will provide more highlights than Bridges (check YouTube). But the 6-7, 230-pound freshman is not just a dunker.
Forward: Nigel Hayes • Wisconsin
Speaking out against perceived injustices grabbed headlines for Hayes this offseason. But the Big Ten preseason player of the year could lead the Badgers back to the Final Four.
