Tristan da Silva, KJ Simpson receive preseason All-Pac-12 honors

A pair of Buffs were recognized on the preseason men’s basketball All-Pac-12 teams

Colorado men’s basketball forward Tristan da Silva and guard KJ Simpson were each named to the preseason men’s basketball All-Pac-12 team, the conference announced Monday.

As voted on by the media, Da Silva, a junior, made the second team, and the sophomore Simpson was an honorable mention. Both of those Buffs should play critical roles this season for a team in search of its third consecutive postseason appearance.

Last year, da Silva averaged 9.4 points and was second on the team in field goal shooting at 47.9%. Simpson made his mark early in the season coming off the bench and he ultimately led the Buffs with 86 assists.
