Preseason All-American Teams

First Team
G- Derrick Rose (Freshman, Memphis)- The smoothest point guard since Isiah Thomas

G- Brandon Rush (Junior, Kansas)- Athletic wing who can hit big shots with ease
F- Tyler Hansbrough (Junior, North Carolina)- Scoring and rebounding machine for Roy Williams
F- Roy Hibbert (Senior, Georgetown)- The most dominant big man when he wants to be

Second Team
G- Tywon Lawson (Sophomore, North Carolina)- Speedy PG who sees the entire floor
G- Drew Neitzel (Senior, Michigan State)- Will keep MSU in every game with his shooting

G- Darren Collison (Junior, UCLA)- Floor leader showed glimpses of PG stardom last year

So we both love D-Rose from Memphis. Good list overall, but I know you meant "best point guard since Tony Delk", right?

Oh and I'd have Singletary higher.
