I appreciated being asked to be a part of the handful of media members who select the All-SEC basketball teams and predict the order of finish, but, man, it was tougher than I thought. The combined results will be announced shortly and when they are, we’ll cover them. In the meantime, this is how I voted:
Order of finish
14. Missouri — The Tigers are going to be bad again and they’re clearly the worst team in the SEC.
13. Auburn — Bruce Pearl brought in a good recruiting class, including a 5-star player. I just don’t trust them yet.
12. Alabama — Alabama lost one of the conference’s best players in Retin Obasohan and I’m not convinced it doesn’t take a step back.
11. Tennessee — The Vols lost a lot and return a lot. Thing is, what they return are role players.
10. Mississippi State — Ben Howland can recruit. If he gets them to stick around, MSU will be good sooner rather than later.
9. South Carolina — The entire frontcourt is gone, but a pair of good guards in Sindarius Thornwell and Duane Notice are back.
8. Ole Miss — This is Sebastian Saiz’s team. If he struggles, so will the Rebs.
7. Vanderbilt — Not sure where the scoring will come from, but the Commodores have a big and experienced front line.
6. Texas A&M — Speaking of big front lines, Texas A&M has the best frontcourt in the SEC for my money. Banking on new guys at guard, though.
5. LSU — The most divisive team in the SEC. Craig Victor and Antonio Blakeney are a tremendous duo. Coaching and effort plague the Tigers.
4. Georgia — JJ Frazier is, at worst, the second-best senior in the SEC. Yante Maten provides a tough scorer and rebounder, too.
3. Florida — No stars, but North Little Rock native KeVaughn Allen, who spurned Arkansas, could break out this year as a sophomore.
2. Arkansas — No better nonfreshman duo in the conference than Moses Kingsley and Dusty Hannahs. The junior college guys should live up to the billing. Two of them, anyway.
1. Kentucky – Obviously.
All-SEC
Kingsley
Frazier
Blakeney
Allen
*Malik Monk, Kentucky freshman
*SEC Player of the Year
