The Detroit Titans dominated the first-team all-league selections with three, including sophomore guard Ray McCallum Jr., who was voted the preseason Player of the Year. Cleveland State senior guard Tre Harmon was also one of the first team selections.
Detroit, which has first-team picks in 6-9 Eli Holman, 6-7 Chase Simon and McCallum, son of head coach Ray McCallum, is expected to challenge the Bulldogs for the top spot in the league. CSU was third in the voting.
Butler returns four key components from last season in 6-10 center Andrew Smith, who was named to the HL preseason second team, and guards Chase Stigall, Ronald Nored and sixth-man Khyle Marshall.
Cleveland State returns five veterans: Harmon, guard Jeremy Montgomery, forwards Tim Kamczyz and D'Andray Brown and center Aaron Pogue. Brown, a three-year starter, returns after missing last season with a wrist injury and will replace Norris Cole, the HL's Most Valuable Player and Defensive Player of the Year last season.
