MSU is officially the favorite to win the Big Ten (ahead of Ohio State and Purdue), and Kalin Lucas is the preseason Big Ten Player of the Year (and a first-team all-conference pick). Lucas is certainly a reasonable pick, given that he won the end-of-season award two years ago, but I'd probably go with Demetri McCamey, who's likely to put up bigger numbers. Lucas will need some time to get back to a 100% explosiveness level, and hopefully the emergence of Durrell Summers as a consistent scoring threat will reduce the need for Lucas to put up big numbers every night.
