The AP released their all-american teams on Tuesday, and, not surprisingly, both Buddy Hield and Denzel Valentine were named unanimous first-teamers.
The only difference between the AP’s first team and the NBCSports.com first-team all-american team was that we had Jakob Poeltl and the AP went with Brice Johnson. No real issues there.
In total, we had 14 of the same 15 players on the three teams. The one difference? The AP went with Kris Dunn as a second-teamer. We didn’t have Kris Dunn on any team, we had Josh Hart instead, and he was a third-teamer.
Here are the AP’s all-american teams:

Malcolm Brogdon, Virginia
