ATLANTA  – The Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SIAC) announced its 2015-16 Men’s Basketball Preseason Players of the Year, preseason teams, and predicted order of finish, Tuesday morning during Media Day at the DoubleTree by Hilton in Tucker, Ga.

Denzel Dillingham (Sr., Guard, 6’4, Hickory, N.C.) of Paine was named the Preseason Player of the Year and Jerry Hampton (Sr., Center, 6’8, Memphis, Tenn.) of LeMoyne-Owen was selected as the Preseason Defensive Player of the Year. Dillingham, the league’s Player and Newcomer of the Year last season, led the SIAC in scoring last season and averaged 21.0 points a game. He shot 48.5 percent from the field and 45.2 percent (80-for-177) from the 3-point range, which also led the conference. Dillingham averaged 5.0 rebounds per game and 2.2 assists last year where he helped the Lions to a 23-6 record. Paine won the SIAC regular season east division title with a 17-2 mark in conference play.
