AP All-America hoops team

No-one I know. He had some good games early in the season against UNC and Duke, but that's not enough to merit inclusion.

 

Curry was actually named to the second team.

Considering the conference he played in, I think that's about right since the honor is based on regular-season performance.

 

You gotta show you belong with the elite before you get these things and he hadn't done that before their run. That he was named to the second team is a sign the voters had their heads out of their asses. Now he's a frontline Wooden Award candidate entering next year. Can't ask for much more than that.

 

And that seems fair. As good a season as he's had, 25 ppg etc. I don't see anyone on the first team I'd bump for him. I would easily put Derrick Rose ahead of him on the list.

 

I'd like to see the second and third teams.
Can someone post them?

 

SECOND TEAM
Luke Harangody, Notre Dame, 6-8, 251, sophomore, Schererville, Ind., 20.8 ppg, 10.2 rpg, 51.5 fg pct, 37.5 3-pt fg pct (9, 211)
Shan Foster, Vanderbilt, 6-6, 205, senior, Kenner, La., 20.5 ppg, 4.9 rpg, 52.6 fg pct, 47.3 3-pt fg pct (7, 159)
D.J. White, Indiana, 6-9, 251, senior, Tuscaloosa, Ala., 17.3 ppg, 10.4 rpg, 60.4 fg pct, 1.7 blocks (2, 146)
Stephen Curry, Davidson, 6-2, 185, sophomore, Charlotte, N.C., 25.1 ppg, 4.8 rpg, 2.8 apg, 43.8 3-pt fg pct, 89.8 ft pct, 1.9 steals (4, 117)
Roy Hibbert, Georgetown, 7-2, 278, senior, Adelphi, Md., 13.6 ppg, 6.5 rpg, 1.9 apg, 60.1 fg pct, 2.3 blocks (1, 86)
THIRD TEAM
Derrick Rose, Memphis, 6-3, 190, freshman, Chicago, 13.9 ppg, 4.2 rpg, 4.5 apg (4, 85)
Chris Lofton, Tennessee, 6-2, 200, senior, Maysville, Ky., 16.1 ppg, 3.2 rpg, 39.8 3-pt fg pct, 83.5 ft pct (4, 82)
Darren Collison, UCLA, 6-1, 165, junior, Rancho Cucamonga, Calif., 15.2 ppg, 3.9 apg, 50.6 3-pt fg pct, 87.4 ft pct, 1.9 steals (2, 80)
Brook Lopez, Stanford, 7-0, 260, sophomore, Fresno, Calif., 19.2 ppg, 8.5 rpg, 2.2 blocks (1, 73)
Eric Gordon, Indiana, 6-4, 215, freshman, Indianapolis, 21.3 ppg, 3.3 rpg, 2.5 apg, 84.5 ft pct (4, 72)

 

I still think Roy Hibbert is overrated, and this season he was exposed as just that.

 

A lot of people who watch more than the BCS conferences. He might not be a first-team selection, but definitely ought to be second team.

EDIT -- Good to see Curry did make second team. Just too bad a clutch player like Mario Chalmers didn't make the cut over someone like Hibbert.

 

He was overrated last year, too.

 

Well, if there's beef about CDR making the first team even if wasn't the best player on his team, I'll start the beef that Chris Lofton is on the third team when he wasn't Tennessee's best player. Tyler Smith was.

 

Agreed, To be his size and average that few rebounds and blocks is pretty weak.

 

But, but, but, he played at Georgetown and he is over 7-feet tall. Doesn't that count for something? He's the heir to Patrick Ewing's throne.
