Anthony Davis (63 votes)

Here's the rest -
2nd team
Isaiah Canaan, Murray State
Marcus Denmon, Missouri
Tyler Zeller, North Carolina
Jae Crowder, Marquette
Kevin Jones, West Virginia
Honorable Mention
Barnes
Jeremy Lamb, UConn
Jordan Taylor, Wisco
Anyone see the full vote totals anywhere? Why do they not do a 3rd team, or a full honorable mention team? I guess honorable mention means "received votes".
Third Team:
Michael Kidd-Gilchrist - UK - 89 pts
Tyshawn Taylor - Kansas - 83
John Jenkins - Vanderbilt - 73
Kendall Marshall - UNC - 49
Damian Lillard - Weber St - 45
Marshall ahead of Barnes from the AP. I guess the national media knows a bit more of what they're talking about than the ACC voters.

I see honorable mention as a long list...and looks like Mason and Austin got at least one vote.

Jeez. Rough week for the pigeon. If the stories of his ego are true, this might even be more of a blow to him than his NCAA performance. I can't imagine that same ego allowing him to leave like this. The drama surrounding his decision and his future is really picking up steam.

Let's not revel too much in this. Singler also failed to make the post-season team twice after being 1st team preseason. He was the leading vote-getter as a senior as well, and one of only two players who led in voting to not make a postseason team (Chris Porter is the other one I'm aware of).
Please explain "far and away". I have no problem with people who claim Davis to be POY, but Thomas Robinson and Draymond Green are quality candidates as well. Close enough that "far and away" is ridiculous. Robinson averages more points, rebounds, and assists (points and rebounds by quite a bit), but Davis blocks more shots. T-Rob also deals with double/triple teams nightly, while Davis rolls with 4 lottery picks.
If we're going to question Anthony Davis not being a unanimous selection in a ballot cast by nationwide voters, then maybe we seriously need to question our own All ACC Team, as well as ACC Player of the Year results, especially considering what we witnessed this weekend.
I'd say Thomas Robinson is the best offensive player in the country. However, I think a lot people underestimate just how much Davis's presence affects the game on both ends. He's just incredible. As much as I like MKG and Jones, he is the reason UK is unbeatable when they come to play.
