FORT WORTH – TCU senior forward Emanuel Miller was named Preseason All-Big 12 Conference on Thursday by the league's coaches.
Miller became the fourth Horned Frog to be named one of the top five players in the Big 12, prior to the start of the season. Mike Miles Jr. was on the team last season, Desmond Bane was recognized in 2019 and Vladimir Brodziansky was on the 2017 preseason team.
Miller returns the second-most points and rebounds in the league after averaging 12.3 points and 6.5 rebounds per game last season. He shot 50 percent from the field, which ranked second in the Big 12. The Scarburough, Ontario native recorded three double-doubles and led TCU in scoring six times and in rebounding 10 times. Miller scored a season-high 23 points last season against Kansas State. At 6-7, Miller was TCU's top 3-point shooter at 39.2 percent.
Miller was joined on the team by Houston's L.J. Cryer, Texas' Max Abmas and Dajuan Harris Jr. and Hunter Dickinson from Kansas. Dickinson was named the Preseason Player of the Year and Preseason Newcomer of the Year. Baylor's Ja'Kobe Walter was named Preseason Freshman of the Year.
The team was voted on by the league's coaches. Coaches were not permitted to vote for their own student-athletes.
