NC State basketball has two All-ACC members
A pair of NC State basketball players were selected to the All-ACC squads. Both super senior guard Jarkel Joiner and his sophomore backcourt mate Terquavion Smith were chosen second team. Joiner also received two votes for ACC Player of the Year.
NC State basketball coach Kevin Keatts picked up a pair of votes for Coach of the Year.
TheWolfpacker.com was part of the voting this season, and on its ballot Joiner was first-team all-conference, while Smith was second. TheWolfpacker.com also had NC State fifth-year senior big man D.J. Burns Jr., as a third-team pick.
Burns was chosen honorable mention All-ACC.
In addition, TheWolfpacker.com had Joiner on its All-Defensive team, but Joiner did not make the top five vote-getters in that category.
Below are the official results from the voting and the press release from NC State basketball.

NC State men’s basketball players Jarkel Joiner and Terquavion Smith were named to the All-ACC Second Team while D.J. Burns, Jr., was an Honorable Mention All-ACC selection as the conference office unveiled the 2022-23 All-ACC Men’s Basketball Team and award winners.
The 2022-23 All-ACC Team was determined by a 75-member panel consisting of the league’s 15 head coaches and 60 members of the media.
This marks the first time since the 2012-13 season that NC State has had multiple players earn All-ACC recognition. In 2013, the Pack’s Richard Howell (first team), Lorenzo Brown (second team) and C.J. Leslie (third team) all received All-ACC honors.
In his one and only season with the Pack, Joiner earned All-ACC second-team honors. The Oxford, Miss., native finished the regular season fourth in the ACC in scoring with an average of 17.3 points per game and was also fourth in the conference in free throw percentage at 82.5 percent and finished fifth in the league in assist-to-turnover ratio at 2.25. Joiner led the Pack in scoring in its 20 ACC games as he ended the season on a tear averaging 23.5 points, 5.7 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 2.0 steals in NC State’s last six games of the regular season.
In 31 games this season, Joiner led NC State in scoring 11 times, assists nine times and steals nine times.
Smith joined Joiner on the All-ACC second team. Smith led NC State in scoring (outscoring Joiner by 2 total points in the regular season) with an average of 17.3 points per game. The Greenville, N.C., native finished the regular season ranked in the top 10 in five different categories in the ACC. He finished third in scoring, fifth in three-pointers made per game (2.74), seventh in steals (1.5), eighth in assists (4.4) and ninth in assist-to-turnover ratio (1.99).
Smith led the Wolfpack in scoring, assists and steals in the regular season. In 31 games, he led NC State in assists 21 times, steals 13 times and scoring 12 times.
Burns earned honorable mention All-ACC honors. The Rock Hill, S.C., native averaged 13.1 points and 5.1 rebounds per game while shooting 56.8 percent from the field this season.
