How would you pick your two deep?
Here would be mine, slightly bias of course.
PG: Morris, Taylor
SG: Hield, Seldon
SF: Prince, Nader maybe?
PF: Niang, Ellis
C: D Williams, Ridley

Honorable mention: Parrish, mason, iwandu, Thomas, Carter, Cousins, Woodard, Spangler, Gotcher
 
I figure the other 4 spots provide plenty of scoring options but still need a good rebounder/post defender. Offensively, Ellis/Niang would be the best posts but they would get eaten up in those two categories in comparison.
 
I don't know how you could seriously list Nader on an All Big 12 team right now
 
I’m about 50-50 horrible at all-conference stuff, but I feel like weighing in.

Here is my early-February Big 12 all-conference team:
First team:
Buddy ****ing Hield

‘Second first-team’:
Georges Niang, Iowa State
Perry Ellis, Kansas
Monte Morris, Iowa State
Isaiah Taylor, Texas
Jaysean Paige, West Virginia

Third-ish Team
Rico Gathers, Baylor
Wayne Selden, Kansas
Jaysean Paige, West Virginia
Isaiah Cousins, (Oklahoma)
Jordan Woodard (OU)

Also receiving votes
: Devein Williams, West Virginia
Taurean Prince (Baylor)
Ryan Spangler, Oklahoma
Matt Thomas (ISU) (Most Improved!)

Is it Cousins or Woodard that is shooting lights out this year? Whichever one it is, I'd take him over Seldon.
Play Buddy at the 3
Morris and Niang
Rico ripping boards at the 5

I was just trying to think of small forwards. Shooting guards a dime a dozen do could easily pick one, just tried to pick a traditional lineup. I put a q mark for that reason.

I agree that Jaysean Page was an oversight on previous posts, but I'm not sure he deserves to be on both second and third teams.

Both are shooting better than Seldon in conference play/rankings.

9 Cousins 13.6 ppg
10 Woodward 13.4 ppg
15 Seldon Jr. 12.3 ppg

1 Hield .477 (3pt.%)
2 Woodward .474
3 Cousins .467
4 Matt Thomas .453
10 Seldon Jr. .351

Seldon is a better defender. I know we are ISU but there is more to basketball than scoring which is why I didn't pick Ellis and Niang both at the 4/5
 
My two-deep roster goes: PGs: Monte Morris and Juwan Evans SG: Buddy Hield and Jaysean Paige SF: Wayne Selden & Georges Niang (can play wherever so I'm putting him here) PF: Perry Ellis & Taurean Prince C: Ryan Spangler & Devin Williams
 
Buddy - POY
Niang - old school award
Prince - hairdo award
Morris - pointer award
Ellis - seniority award

Kruger COY (Shaka Smart gets lots of votes)

Wade FOY
Iwundu DPOY

If going small
PG: Morris - Evans
SG: Hield - Paige
SG: Taylor - Selden
PF: Niang - Prince
PF: Ellis - Williams
That's a pretty soft rebounding team though

If going big
PG: Morris - Evans
SG: Hield - Paige
SF: Niang - Selden
PF: Ellis - Prince
C: Williams - Spangler (Ridley would get the spot if still healthy)
 
If we're imagining this team actually has to play games

Morris
Hield
Prince
Niang
Williams

If this is just an All Big 12 team switch Williams with Selden.
