The Big Ten released its all-conference preseason team Thursday with Purdue center Zach Edey, who was the 2022-23 College Basketball Player of the Year, being named the 2023-24 Big Ten Preseason Player of the Year.

Last season, Edey and the Boilermakers won the Big Ten Championship, but Michigan State went the farthest among Big Ten teams in the NCAA Tournament, reaching the Sweet 16. Edey was one of four players to be unanimously selected to the Preseason All-Big Ten roster, Illinois' Terrence Shannon Jr., Maryland's Jahmir Young and Northwestern's Boo Buie the other three.
