Southeastern Conference unveils 2022-23 men’s basketball preseason All-SEC teams

As the college basketball season approaches in less than a week, the 2023 All-SEC first- and second-team preseason selections have been selected by the conference coaches. The list is headlined by a number of freshmen, transfers and plenty returning talent from last season’s top teams who hope to build on previous success.

Alabama, Auburn, Kentucky and Tennessee each had multiple players selected to the two teams, with Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, LSU, Mississippi State, Missouri, Ole Miss and Texas A&M also placing one player on the list. The only two teams without a player on the preseason list are South Carolina and Vanderbilt.

The 2022-23 season opens on Nov. 7, with SEC play starting on Dec. 28. The SEC Tournament begins on March 8 in Nashville, Tennessee.
