This was released earlier today, but here ya go. No seniors, which is the first time in the history of the selections (they started in ’74) that no senior is represented on the team. I make Beasley the biggest because he is the POTY.
Here are the big numbers:
Beast: 26.5 points, 12.4 rebounds, 38.9 percent from 3. First K-State player since Bob Boozer in ’59 to be named to the first team.
Bro: 23 points, 10.4 rebounds. Joe Forte—wow, him—was the last UNC player to be named to the first team.
Deej: 19.8 points, 5.7 assists. Second-straight ‘Horn. (You know who.)
All you need is ___: 17.1 points, 10.6 boards and 56 percent from the field. Second-straight Bear. (A little help on this one: Afflalo did it last year.)
CD-R: 17.2 points, 4.1 rebounds, 45 percent from 3.
In case you were wondering, the preseason team: Hansbrough, Drew Neitzel, Darren Collison, Chris Lofton and Roy Hibbert.
No issues here. Seems like the only five you could choose.
