Next Monday the Big Ten Network will be unveiling their teams, player, and coach of the decade and Michigan State figures to be well represented.
Big Ten Network producer Brett Yarina tweeted on Saturday that he has two Spartans on his all-decade team: Cassius Winston and Draymond Green.

Both Winston and Green won Big Ten Player of the Year awards during their careers to go with a number of all-conference and all-American accolades. Green helped lead the Spartans to the Final Four in 2010 as a sophomore and Winston made a Final Four in 2019. Green also made the national championship game, although that was in the prior decade in 2009.
Tom Izzo has already been nominated as coach of the decade, an award he should be the favorite for. MSU has won the Big Ten five times in the last decade, to go with four league tournament wins and three Final Four appearances.
