Marques Warrick is the HoriZone Roundtable staff's pick for Horizon League Player of the Year after leading Northern Kentucky to a 14-6 record in Horizon League play and an NCAA Tournament automatic berth. In the wake of Antoine Davis' graduation, the voting near the top of the First Team was as close as it's been in years. In the end Warrick got the nod over Cleveland State's Tristan Enaruna and Wright State's Trey Calvin, with B.J. Freeman finishing within striking distance and Trey Townsend rounding out the first team. The last of Youngstown State's 2023 All-League performers, Brandon Rush led the way on our Second Team. He's joined by fellow 2023 picks Sam Vinson, JLynn Counter and Brandon Noel as well as Green Bay newcomer Noah Reynolds. Our writers and podcast staff see Ziggy Reid and Brett Thompson following in the footsteps of Rush, Adrian Nelson and Malek Green (according to the picks that matter, anyway) as All-League performers in their first season after transferring to Youngstown. The newcomers are joined on our third team by Detroit's Jayden Stone, Markeith Browning of Milwaukee, and Tae Williams from Cleveland State.

Defending Horizon League Tournament champion Northern Kentucky — who put forth a valiant effort in a 63-52 loss to 1-seed Houston in the NCAA Tournament — is the HoriZone Roundtable's pick to win the league in 2023-24. The Norse return two All-League performers to a team that went 14-6 in league play last year. The rest of our Top 4 were the other three teams with byes last year: Milwaukee, Cleveland State, and Youngstown State. Wright State, Oakland, and Robert Morris were similarly projected to hold down their spots from last year in the middle of the league. Then things get interesting. After being among the worst teams in the nation each of the last two seasons, IUPUI and Green Bay are projected to finish eighth and ninth in the league this year for wildly different reasons. IUPUI had its most stable offseason in years and added a few Division I transfers to its young core, while Green Bay blew up its roster and landed some transfers who should instantly be among the best players on the team. Purdue Fort Wayne is tasked with replacing its entire starting lineup from a team that finished eighth last season, and although the Mastodons added some talent in the transfer portal our staff is uncertain that they'll be able to put it together right away. And finally, we've entered the first season of the HoriZone Roundtable that won't involve Antoine Davis. With the difficulty Detroit Mercy had putting a cohesive team that could stay on the court around him seemingly continuing after his graduation, we see the Titans finishing last this year.
