Duke’s Nolan Smith, possibly on his way to national player of the year honors, has been unanimously selected to the All-ACC team by the members of the Atlantic Coast Sports Media Association. Even though the North Carolina Tar Heels finished atop the conference, no players made first team.<\/p>\n
Three Tar Heels – Tyler Zeller, John Henson and Harrison Barnes – made the second team.<\/p>\n
The first team consists of Smith, Jordan Williams of Maryland, Malcolm Delaney of Virginia Tech, Kyle Singler of Duke and Reggie Jackson of Boston College.<\/p>\n
Zeller was next in line and should have beat out Jackson for the fifth slot. My first team consists of Smith, Williams, Delaney, Singler and Zeller.<\/p>\n
The official second team consists of Zeller, Henson, Barnes, Iman Shumpert of Georgia Tech and Jeff Allen of Virginia. My second team is the same except Jackson would take Zeller’s place since he’s on the first team.<\/p>\n
Owning up to my preseason picks, I had Singler, Smith and Delaney, who all made it, but I also had NC State’s Tracy Smith and UNC’s Harrison Barnes as the other two first teamers. I did not foresee Tracy Smith’s injury of course but I also thought State would be one of the league’s best teams. As for Barnes, had he not started so slow, he would have been a first teamer.<\/p>\n
My preseason second team consisted of two players who were lost for the season to injury in December (VT’s Dorenzo Hudson and Duke’s Kyrie Irving) and one who was injured for much of the ACC season (FSU’s Chris Singleton). The other two were Henson, who did make the second team, and Maryland’s Williams, who made the first team.<\/p>\n
