#1 Pierre Jackson
Baylor
Jackson is a bit of a polarizing point guard, as last season he drew some criticism for his shot selection. The bottom line with Jackson is he's a terrific playmaker, even if he takes some risks on occasion. As the veteran leader of a team with some talented youngsters on the roster, Jackson will be the key if the Bears intend to compete for a league title. I expect him to excel in the role, as do the league's head coaches; he was named Big 12 Preseason Player of the Year.
