Tyler Ulis just got one step closer to becoming a consensus All-American. This morning,
Ulis was named Second Team All-American by the National Association of Basketball Coaches, his third such honor. Ulis has now been named an All-American by the Sporting News (first team), the U.S. Basketball Writers Association (second team) and the NABC (second team). The Associated Press, the fourth NCAA-recognized All-America team, has not been released yet and will determine if Ulis is a consensus All-American.
Here's the entire ballot:
First Team
Malcolm Brogdon, Virginia
Buddy Hield, Oklahoma
Brice Johnson, North Carolina
Ben Simmons, LSU
Denzel Valentine, Michigan State
Second Team
Kris Dunn, Providence
Perry Ellis, Kansas
Georges Niang, Iowa State
Jakob Poeltl, Utah
Tyler Ulis, Kentucky
Third Team
Grayson Allen, Duke
Kay Felder, Oakland
Yogi Ferrell, Indiana
Josh Hart, Villanova
Jarrod Uthoff, Iowa
The fact that Ben Simmons made the first team and Ulis didn't is pretty annoying, but congrats to Tyler. As one of four finalists for the Naismith Trophy, he'll be in Houston later this week for the award presentation.
