Seth Davis and Luke Winn serve up their picks for SI.com's All-America Team: PLAYER OF THE YEAR COACH OF THE YEAR FIRST TEAMG: Ty Lawson, 5-11 Jr., North Carolina The Tar Heels' whirling dervish was the most efficient offensive player in the country. F: Terrence Williams, 6-6 Sr., Louisville T-Will does everything for the Cards, including running their offense as a point forward. F: Blake Griffin, 6-10 Soph., Oklahoma The Terminator led the nation in rebounding and was a clear choice for Player of the Year. F: Tyler Hansbrough, 6-9 Sr., North Carolina He didn't have a Wooden/Naismith-type season, but still anchored UNC's ACC title run. C: DeJuan Blair, 6-7 Soph., Pittsburgh His unrivaled offensive glasswork (5.5 per game) is the No. 1 reason for Pitt's success. SECOND TEAMG: Stephen Curry, 6-3 Jr., Davidson Steph lost ground in All-America race when Wildcats missed NCAAs, but still led nation in scoring. G: Eric Maynor, 6-2 Sr., VCU Best point guard no one talks about had a monster year in the CAA (and owns his own title belt). G: James Harden, 6-4 Soph., Arizona State Smooth, unselfish lefty made a case for being the No. 2 player in the NBA draft, after Griffin. F: Sam Young, 6-6 Sr., Pitt Oldest-looking Panther has country's best shot-fake, and creates major matchup problems. C: Hasheem Thabeet, 7-3 Jr., UConn Nation's biggest defensive game-changer made life in the lane miserable for opponents. THIRD TEAMG: Levance Fields, 5-10 Sr., Pitt Top point guard in assist-to-turnover ratio (3.87:1) was also Panthers' go-to guy in the clutch. G: Jeff Teague, 6-2 Soph., Wake Forest Electric scorer couldn't be contained off dribble, and shot 44.6 percent from beyond the arc. G: Tyreke Evans, 6-5 Fr., Memphis Thrived as a scoring point guard, leading Tigers on a 25-0 run up to the NCAA tournament. F: Gerald Henderson, 6-4 Jr., Duke Late bloomer led Blue Devils in scoring, assists, steals and defensive boards in ACC games. F: Luke Harangody, 6-8 Jr., Notre Dame While Irish crumbled (and landed in NIT), 'Gody was still putting up huge numbers in paint. ![]() | ![]()
