MID-MAJOR PRESEASON ALL-AMERICAN SECOND TEAMAnalyzing The Horizon League’s Non-Conference Schedules For 2017-18--Blogging The Bracket
...
G Kendrick Nunn, Oakland
Truth be told the Golden Grizzlies have three players who could make a case to be on one of these teams, with Martez Walker and Jalen Hayes (who’s been declared ineligible by the NCAA until December) being the others. But the pick here is Nunn, who makes his return to the court after off-court issues resulted in his being dismissed from the Illinois program in May of 2016. In his final season at Illinois, Nunn averaged 15.5 points and 5.0 rebounds per game, shooting 42.8 percent from the field and 39.1 percent from three.

Oakland: The Golden Grizzlies always are good offensively and always have talent (Jalen Hayes and Martez Walker are all-conference types, and Illinois transfer Kendrick Nunn may well be one, too). What they don’t have yet is an NCAA bid since joining the Horizon League in 2013, though they’ve regularly been in contention. Valparaiso is gone to the MVC and Greg Kampe’s program is primed to become the Horizon’s signature program. Oakland also has quietly improved defensively (notably harassing Valpo’s outstanding Alec Peters last year), and that could make the Grizzlies a team capable of not just making the NCAAs, but winning some games there.Braxton Beverly, Evan Battey and Jalen Hayes are proof NCAA has no business determining academic ability--College Basketball Talk

4. OaklandIn Oakland debut, Kendrick Nunn lights up scoreboard--Detroit News
Four starters return from a team that won 25 games and a share of the Horizon League regular season title a season ago, with guard Martez Walker (17.8 ppg, 4.0 rpg) and forward Jalen Hayes (15.9, 8.0) leading the way for Greg Kampe’s squad. In total nine contributors from that team are back, and of the five newcomers four will be eligible to compete immediately with former Illinois guard Kendrick Nunn being one of those four.
If there’s an area where Oakland can stand to improve from last season it would be their perimeter shooting, as they made just 33.3 percent of their attempts from beyond the arc. That’s an area where the aforementioned Nunn can help, as he shot nearly 38 percent from three in his three seasons at Illinois. Under Kampe the Golden Grizzlies have been able to incorporate transfers into their rotation and reap the rewards more often than not, and that could once again be the case in 2017-18.
