    MBB: All-ACC 2009

    Talk about some tough decisions. I can name four players on 15-501 that deserve to be on the first team.

    Should be a fun discussion, so get to it...

    Early call but

    Here are my choices:
    Singler
    Henderson
    hans(travel)
    lawson(no neck)
    Teague

    This leaves off several good players. But what can I say? I bleed Royal Blue! Go Duke!

    Not yet halfway in the conference season, so things could change, but here IMO are the leading candidates for 1st Team All-ACC (in no particular order)

    Tyrese Rice
    Jeff Teague
    Gerald Henderson
    Kyle Singler
    Danny Green
    Tyler Hansbrough
    Toney Douglas
    Jack McClinton

    Next group, could possibly play their way in...

    Greivis Vasquez
    James Johnson
    Ty Lawson
    Gani Lawal
    A.D. Vassallo
    Trevor Booker

    Some tough choices...

    No Tyrese Rice? He's averaging 18 pts and 6 assists. Ty Lawson is at 16 and 7, rounded nicely.

    Trevor Booker is one rebound shy of averaging a double double, and is a point higher than Green in average scoring.

    McClinton's stats are barely under Teague's.

    It may actually come down to who plays on the better team...

    EDIT: I gotta speed up the typing...

    I am not sold on Tyler Hantravel for all ACC this year - at least not 1st team! His perfomance has been spotty. Others on the list, IMO, surpass him.

    Tough Choices

    Three really good players are going to be left off the first team All-ACC:

    Henderson - D
    Singler - D
    Hansbrough - NC
    Lawson - NC
    Teague - BC
    McClintock - M
    Toney - FS
    Rice - BC

    Thumbs up In 1961, four players were unanimous all-ACC selections...

    on a five-man team,but this year we may see a tie vote with 6 players selected because of the number of excellent guards and wings.
    Caveat: present trends continue.

    So, to solve the space problem, I will name 6 to the first team:
    Singler(POY)
    Henderson
    Hanstravel
    Teague
    Douglas(DPOY)--who almost single-handedly beat UNC last night ,while dominating the game on both ends, and who unfortunately tried to draw a foul in the last seconds of a tie game on Hanstravel that had as much chance of being called as Aminu's closing foul on Hendo-----a magnificent player and leader.
    Lawson

    Best regards,

    It's McClinton, not McClintock.

    I think Singler and Hansbrough are givens, and I suspect Teague will be as well. The last two spots are interesting. Henderson is making a strong push right now. If he keeps it up, he'll be there as well. Lawson, Vassallo, McClinton, and Rice can all make a case too. There's a lot of ACC still to play, though.

    All ACC - Several Deserving Players

    The end of the ACC regular season is just two weeks away. With the extra teams and the high level play in the conference this year, there are more players deserving of All ACC recognition than in recent years. The following is a listing by team of those who, IMO, are deserving of consideration for a spot on one of the three teams chosen by the ACC sportswriters and sportscasters:

    BC – Rice, Trapani
    Md – Vasquez
    Virginia - Landesberg
    Va Tech – Vassallo, Delaney, Allen
    Duke – Singler, Henderson
    UNC – Hansbrough, Lawson, Green, Ellington
    Wake – Teague, Johnson
    NC St – Costner
    Clemson – Booker, Rivers
    Ga Tech – Lawal
    Fla St – Douglas
    Miami – McClinton

    At this point in time, my 1st team would be composed of Hansbrough, Teague, Singler, Booker and Lawson with a host of guards who have outplayed Lawson head-to-head on the second team (Douglas, Rice, McClinton and Vasquez) along with Henderson. If Florida State winds up in 2nd place, then Douglas deserves to be on the 1st team, IMO. If the Devils win out then Henderson joins Singler on 1st team otherwise, only one Duke player deserves to be on the first team and Singler has been the top all around player on Duke since the beginning of the season.

    excellent list

    gw67's list is excellent, thorough. Since the list numbers 21, one way to look at this would be to eliminate Landesberg (giving him frosh POY, with Ed Davis in 2d), and then divide the remaining 20 into all-ACC teams 1-4. I'll limit myself to just teams 1-3. And while one could almost have at least 4 guards on first team, I'll not go that route.

    1st -
    Hansbrough
    McClinton
    Douglas
    Lawson
    Booker

    2d -
    Singler
    Rice
    Teague
    Green
    Rivers

    3d-
    Trapani
    Delaney
    Hendo
    Ellington
    Johnson

    Honestly, my view could substantially change in next 2 weeks, depending on who leads his team upward in the standings. Obviously, for example, Vasquez could jump from just missing to, say, 2d team, if he leads Md to maybe 9-7. Guys could move up or down; and I sure do hope Singler merits 1st team, and Hendo 2d, by what they do in next 2 weeks.

    I"ll stop at the first team. BTW, who decides All-ACC? I'm guessing writers? Whoever it is they have a tough job on their hands!

    1st team:

    Lawson (No-brainer)
    Booker (Over Hansbrough)
    Teague (If he plays pre-wake losing streak caliper for the rest of the year)
    G (In ACC play he's been our best player. We're No. 2-3 so...)
    Douglas (Dont like him much but he's the reason they're not on the bubble.)

    Coach OTY - Tough choice between Hamilton and Purnell. Purnell had more to work with so I'll give the nod to Hamilton.

    There are 11 players who are "LOCKS", imo, to make one of the three All-ACC teams:

    UNC: hansbrough, lawson
    DUKE: henderson, singler
    WAKE: teague
    CLEMSON: booker/rivers (at least 1)
    FSU: douglas
    BOSTON COLLEGE: rice
    MARYLAND: vazquez
    MIAMI: mcclinton
    VA Tech: vassallo

    Here how I rank them:

    FIRST team:
    t. hansbrough (unc)
    t. lawson (unc)
    j. teague (wake)
    g. henderson (duke)
    t. rice (bc)

    SECOND team:
    k. singler (duke)
    j. mcclinton (miami)
    t. douglas (fsu)
    booker/rivers (clemson)
    g. vasquez (maryland)

    THIRD team:
    vassallo (va tech)
    ?
    ?
    ?
    ?

    The remaining 4 players will come from a list including the following:

    UNC: ellington, green
    DUKE: scheyer
    WAKE: johnson, aminu
    CLEMSON: booker/rivers, oglesby
    VA TECH: delaney, allen
    GA TECH: lawal
    VIRGINIA: landesberg
    BC: trapani
    NC STATE: costner

    My picks:
    green/ellington (unc)
    booker/rivers (clemson)
    johnson (wake)
    lawal (ga tech)

    Honorable mention: green/ellington (unc), scheyer (duke), aminu (wake), oglesby (clemson), delaney (va tech), allen (va tech), landesberg (uva), costner (nc state)

    1st Team All ACC

    I apologize if this has been discussed before. I used the search and did not come up with anything. If it has please move/delete it.

    This year seems to be as tough to pick an All ACC first team as it has in many years. I was curious what people thought the ultimate selections would be. Good arguments can be made for Henderson, Hansbrough, Lawson, McClinton, Douglas, Booker, Singler, Rice, Vasquez, Teague, and several others. What five do you think will get the nod? With so many quality players, do you think a team (UNC probably) will get two players on the first team? The ultimate decisions will be made in a few weeks, so it is a reasonable time to start thinking about it.

    Tough to pick just 5... I think the only possibility of 2 players from 1 team would be Lawson and Hansbrough.

    Here's my guess at the 1st team:

    Lawson
    Douglas
    Henderson
    Booker
    Hansbrough


    I could definitely see Teague or McClinton get the honor instead of Lawson or Douglas. The ACC is so deep at the guard position. But I think Lawson will probably get the honor since Carolina gets so much more publicity than any other team with the exception of Duke.

    I believe this is the earliest thread (this season) about All-ACC speculation.

    At this point, I'll say:

    Henderson
    Ty Lawson
    Hansbrough
    Teague
    Booker

    Still in consideration

    Tyrese Rice
    Greivis Vasquez
    Danny Green
    Kyle Singler
    Toney Douglas
    Jack McClinton

    First this question

    Who picks the teams? If it's the media, then hanstravel is a lock no matter how he plays. If not then he may not make first team. My choice have changed since first asked.

    Henderson
    lawson
    McClinton
    Teague
    Booker

    Go Duke!

    I GUARANTEE Douglas will be on the team.

    Teague
    McClinton
    Douglas
    Henderson
    Hansbrough

    Lawson, Rice, and Booker on the outside looking in... but that could change with some games left to play

    Douglas, Teague, McClintock close behind. Singler is borderline 2nd/3rd IMHO.

    Lot's of basketball left to be played and the games in the next couple weeks will be a MAJOR factor in determining these teams.

    Sadly, I agree. Kyle seems to be fading coming down the stretch. I think Wake was keying on him Sunday, but IIRC he still only had 6 points about half way through the second half while not being really effective on the boards or on D (to be fair, he did turn it around with some points and a big board or two in crunch time).

    My picks so far would be:
    Lawson
    Henderson
    Rice
    McClinton
    Booker

    I think Douglas is the hardest guy to leave off that list. Hansbough has games where he's not one of the 3 most effective on his team, let alone in the league.
