Overview
- The AP first team features Cameron Boozer (Duke), AJ Dybantsa (BYU), Yaxel Lendeborg (Michigan), Darius Acuff Jr. (Arkansas) and JT Toppin (Texas Tech).
- Boozer was the only unanimous first-team pick and is widely viewed as the Naismith Player of the Year favorite.
- The Duke freshman averaged 22.5 points, 10.2 rebounds and 4.2 assists, and he leads the No. 1 overall seed after an ACC Tournament title.
- Three freshmen made the first team, and six of the 15 AP All-Americans overall were freshmen, underscoring a youth-driven season.
- Availability update: Toppin tore his ACL in February and will miss March Madness, and second-teamer Caleb Wilson is out after season-ending thumb surgery.
