For the second straight season, Michigan’s starting point guard and standout freshman earned Big Ten honors.
Senior guard Zavier Simpson was named All-Big Ten second team for the second year in a row by the coaches and media, while Franz Wagner was named to the conference’s All-Freshman team on Monday.
Simpson, a two-year captain and three-year starter, saw his numbers improve as he took on a larger role in his final season. He’s averaging a career-best 12.9 points and 7.9 assists, with the latter statistic leading the Big Ten and ranking second in the nation.
