Cincinnati Bearcats forward Baba Miller is already making conference honors just one week into the college basketball season.

The Big 12 announced its week one starting five, which goes to the best five players in the Big 12 that given week. Baba Miller was named to the starting five along with Arizona's Koa Peat, BYU's AJ Dybantsa, Kansas's Darryn Peterson, and Texas Tech's Christian Anderson.

Baba Miller averaged 21 points, 10.5 rebounds on 83% shooting from the field across the first two games of the season. Miller had a fantastic game against Georgia State, putting up 24 points, 11 rebounds, 1 steal, and 3 blocks.

Miller transferred in from FAU this offseason and has blossomed into a larger role at a larger school. Miller is already making a name for himself on NBA Draft Boards, being ranked as the No. 64 prospect for next summer's NBA Draft.
