The Big Ten Network will release its men's basketball All-Big Ten team Monday. But instead of waiting four more days, here's a sneak preview of the likely group. Hint: It's an all-sophomore roster.

Forward Evan Turner, Ohio State
Also my pick for Big Ten Player of the Year, Turner is as versatile as they come. He leads Ohio State in scoring, rebounding and assists. He's the Big Ten's leading scorer in conference play and has six double-doubles on the year.

But it's Turner's efficiency that makes him so dangerous. The sophomore shoots 51 percent from the field, including 45 percent from behind the arc.

How valuable is he to Ohio State? The 6-foot-7 Turner fills the middle position in the Buckeye's 2-3 zone, which is usually occupied by a team's tallest player. Because of his length and athleticism, Turner wreaks havoc on the defensive end. He is the glue that has kept Ohio State on the NCAA Tournament bubble and he's the best player in the conference.

Forward Manny Harris, Michigan
Another no-brainer. Michigan coach John Beilein asked Harris this season to be more of a complete player, and Harris has delivered. He has 86 more rebounds and 44 more assists than at this point last year. And unlike his first season, he'll end the season with a positive assist-to-turnover ratio.

Inconsistency is Harris's lone weakness. He scored in single digits three times in a crucial four-game stretch for the Wolverines, and he scored just nine points in a heartbreaking loss at Iowa on Feb. 22.

But Harris has played the role of Superman more than once. He willed Michigan to victory against Northwestern on Feb. 15 when he scored 25 second-half and overtime points, and he scored 27 while looking unstoppable in an 87-78 upset of Purdue on Feb. 26.

Guard Kalin Lucas, Michigan State
Lucas is the best player on the eighth-ranked Spartans, the best team in the Big Ten. The point guard has flourished in conference play, averaging 16.2 points.

But the most impressive part of Lucas's game is his ability to take care of the ball (134 assists to just 55 turnovers).

ESPN.com senior college basketball writer Andy Katz wrote in January: "If Lucas can be a decision-maker, a decisive presence for the Spartans, then they have a chance to win the Big Ten and reach their ultimate goal: getting to (the Final Four)."

Lucas has done just that, and Michigan State is certainly on the right path to playing in the final game of the season.

Guard Talor Battle, Penn State
Despite standing just 5-foot-11, Battle averages more than five rebounds per game. Along with 17 points and five assists on average per game, Battle has emerged as one of the top two point guards in the Big Ten. And his 2.2:1 assist-to-turnover ratio has helped Penn State turn around from a mediocre Big Ten program to a possible NCAA Tournament team.

And Battle has shown up in big games. In Penn State's big wins over Purdue and Michigan State, Battle posted 21 and 29 points, respectively.

Center JaJuan Johnson, Purdue
This was the toughest pick. Michigan junior DeShawn Sims, Northwestern's Kevin Coble and Penn State's Jamelle Cornley were also in the running, but at the end of the day, it's likely the second-best team in the Big Ten will have someone on this list. Johnson has anchored Purdue's tough defense with 2.2 blocks per game. His 6-foot-10 frame and long arms make him a force on the offensive end as well, where he has nine 16-point or better performances.
