Kansas senior Devonte’ Graham has been named 2018 All-America First Team by the Associated Press.
Graham is 4-for-4 on consensus All-America first teams as he was recently named to National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC), the U.S. Basketball Writers Association (USBWA) and The Sporting News squads which make up the consensus team announced by the NCAA. In this, Graham is Kansas’ 30th Consensus All-America First Team selection with the 30 being more than any other NCAA Division I school. North Carolina is second with 27.
This is the second-straight year a Kansas player has earned Associated All-America First Team honors. Jayhawk Frank Mason III earned the distinction last year and later received the AP national player of the year award.
In the past few weeks, Graham has been named the Big 12 Player of the Year, All-Big 12 First Team, one of five finalists for the Bob Cousy Point Guard of the Year Award and All-America First Team by Associated Press, The Sporting News, the NABC, NCAA.com and the USBWA.
The Jayhawks are preparing for the Final 4 and a showdown with Villanova. Coach Bill Self says being in the final 4 is special with this group of players especially Devonte Graham.
Tip-off Saturday is set for 7:49 in San Antonio. The game will be broadcast on KVOE 1400AM/96.9FM.
