Pre-Season Player of Year

Our pick for Big Twelve preseason Player of the Year is Champaign Central 2018 shooting guard Tim Finke. The senior guard is poised to post huge scoring numbers throughout the year. He is a plus shooter and a playmaking passer with the ball in his hands. Expect for this Champaign Central star to put up lots of 30+ point games.
