Michigan State guard Cassius Winston and Louisville forward Jordan Nwora are among the talented group of players selected to the AP preseason All-America team.

The honors were announced on Tuesday, with Winston and Nwora joining Marquette guard Markus Howard, Seton Hall guard Myles Powell, and Memphis center James Wiseman as preseason All-America selections.

Winston averaged 18.8 points and 7.5 assists per game last season and will once again lead the way for the Spartans, who are ranked No. 1 to being the season.

Meanwhile, Louisville is ranked No. 5 to start the new campaign, and Nwora is a big reason why after posting 17.0 points and 7.5 rebounds per game a season ago.
