All Americans

The first team All American team was released yesterday and really there are no surprises. The team was highlighted by 2 freshmen (guess what school they attended) 2 juniors and a senior. The individuals on the team separated themselves from the rest quite early in the season and others really struggled to catch up.

First Team
Demarcus Cousins
John Wall
Wesley Johnson
Scotty Reynolds
Evan Turner

Wall and Cousins are the first set of teammates to be All-Americans since Duke had two back in 2006. Evan turner was only 1 vote shy of being a unanimous decision. Scotty Reynolds beat out others on the second team despite being relatively worthless in the his teams last 5 games of the season.

2nd Team
James Anderson
Sherron Collins
Greivis Vasquez
John Scheyer
Da'Sean Butler

James Anderson finished 6th in voting, but received more votes than Cousins, however, due to position he was relegated to the second team. Vasquez and Scheyer battled for ACC player of the year but were both rewarded with 2nd team All-Americans. This year was also the first year Scheyer made any All team as he was earlier selected to the First-Team All-ACC. Of all the people on these lists Da'Sean Butler is the only player still in the tournament.

3rd Team
Greg Monroe
Cole Aldrich
Damion James
Luke Harangody
Darington Hobson
