Two more A-A teams for Jabari

[Olympic Fan]

Two of the major All-American teams were released Monday -- the AP and the Wooden.

Jabari Parker made first team on both:

Pretty sure that along with his earlier teams (NABC, Sporting News) this guarantees Jabari "consensus" All-America status ... in fact, he's on pace to be a unanimous first-team selection.

He'll be Duke's first consensus first-team pick since Nolan in 2011. In fact, the full list for Duke players:

Dick Groat -- 1952
Art Heyman -- 1963
Bob Verga -- 1967
Mike Gminski -- 1979
Johnny Dawkins -- 1985, 1986
Danny Ferry -- 1989
Christian Laettner -- 1992
Bobby Hurley -- 1993
Grant Hill -- 1994
Elton Brand -- 1999
Chris Carrawell -- 2000
Shane Battier -- 2001
Jason Williams -- 2001, 2002
JJ Redick -- 2005, 2006
Nolan Smith -- 2011
Jabari Parker -- 2014

That's the official NCAA consensus list -- several other players have made earned first-team awards (Mullins and Marin in the 60s, Langdon n '99; Dunleavy and Duhon early in this century), but not enough to earn consensus honors

Shelden Williams was also a consensus first-teamer in 2006.

I thought it was cool that the other 4 AP first-teamers were all seniors. Upperclassmen can be good at basketball.

I'm not sure Shelden was. I think to be "consensus" you have to make three of AP, Sporting News, USBWA, and NABC.

http://fs.ncaa.org/Docs/stats/m_bask...2009/Award.pdf lists Shelden as a consensus first-teamer.

According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2006_NC..._All-Americans, Shelden made first-team AP, USBWA and NABC and was second-team Sporting News.

Shelden definitely WAS a first-teamer in 2006 ... I had a mental lapse and left him out. He is on the NCAA list.

And I just got news total that these two A-A selections definitely put Jabari in the consensus class:


With the Wooden Award All-American Team citation, Parker becomes a consensus first team All-America selection. He is the 15th consensus first team All-America under head coach Mike Krzyzewski and Duke’s first since Nolan Smith in 2011. Parker has also been named first team All-America by the Associated Press, NABC, Sporting News, Sports Illustrated and the USBWA.


Actually, I get 16 A-As under K -- counting Redick, Jason Williams and Dawkins twice: Parker, Smith, Redick, Redick, S. Williams, J. Williams, J. Williams, Brand, Battier, Carrawell, GHill, Hurley, Laettner, Ferry, Dawkins, Dawkins ... let me check on that.

Voting for the AP team went like this -

McDermott 65 (unanimous)
Parker 55
Russ Smith 54
Napier 37
Kilpatrick 37

I could not find votes for 2nd and 3rd teams, but here's the list:


Second team
Nick Johnson, Arizona
Andrew Wiggins, Kansas
Nik Stauskas, Michigan
Melvin Ejim, Iowa State
T.J. Warren, N.C. State

Third team
Cleanthony Early, Wichita State
Kyle Anderson, UCLA
Julius Randle, Kentucky
C.J. Fair, Syracuse
Scottie Wilbekin, Florida

Happy to be mistaken!
