Can't wait to see Labissiere play.

For the first time in its 35-year history, Blue Ribbon named more than one freshmen to its pre-season All-America team. The ground-breakers are two players from the Southeastern Conference: Skal Labissiere of Kentucky and Ben Simmons of LSU.

“There was a time that Blue Ribbon would never have placed unproven freshmen on its All-America team,” the yearbook’s editor, Chris Dortch, said in a news release Thursday. “But after consulting coaches, NBA scouts and respected media members, the decision was made to include not just one but two this year.”

Joining Labissiere and Simmons on the All-America team are Virginia senior Malcolm Brogdon, Iowa State senior Georges Niang, and Providence junior Kris Dunn.
