[ad_1]

Purdue star big man Zach Edey highlighted the AP All-American list announced on Tuesday as the lone anonymous selection. For the second consecutive season, Edey received all 62 possible votes en route to his All-American honor. Tennessee star Dalton Knecht and North Carolina’s RJ Davis received 56 and 55 first-team votes, respectively. A pair of guards on No. 1 seeds in the NCAA Tournament (Houston’s Jamal Shead and UConn’s Tristen Newton) rounded out the First Team.

Marquette star point guard Tyler Kolek was the headliner of this year’s Second Team AP All-America team. The Second Team included Alabama star Mark Sears, Duke’s Kyle Filipowski, Dayton’s DaRon Holmes II, and Kansas’ Hunter Dickinson.

The theme of this year’s AP All-America teams was upperclassmen-heavy. The Third Team features Arizona’s Caleb Love, San Diego State’s Jaedon LeDee, Auburn’s Johni Broome, Creighton’s Baylor Scheierman, and Illinois’ Terrence Shannon Jr. Broome is the lone non-senior on that list.
