Well, with 18 teams there is a logjam. Additionally, he doesn’t add a whole lot other than shooting the three. Of course, he does that very well, but assists and defense is average at best

The 5 on each all Acc team is antiquated from
Back when there were only 8 teams.
Should expand to at least 7-8 per team.

It’s a great point – for most of our history, being first team meant you were top 5 out of 40 starters. Now you have to be top 5 out of 90 starters. Much, much higher bar.

The conference is 2.25x as big as it used to be (18/8), so if we truly wanted “first team” to have a comparable meaning today as it did back then, each team would now have 11 players on it.

The least we could do is expand to 8.

I feel like most conferences these days put like ten guys on the first team

ACC women have 15 on the first team, 10 on the second, and no third. That’s weird… but proves you can do whatever you want.

Yeah, seeing both that Mo was first team all-ACC and 8th or whatever in the voting caused me a fair bit of cognitive dissonance. I was like “Wait, but… How? I don’t understand.”

If dook can start 8 every game, then All ACC teams can certainly have 8

Best for last!?

Tbh, I prefer a 5-man first team to have it mean something. But I also prefer a 9-team or so conference

I hope we have the good sense to keep candidates far away from there. And the new coach’s contract better forbid him from setting foot on the property.

The University should buy the property and then condemn it.

Yeah, team performance hurt him. He was definite 3rd teamer at least down the stretch.
