All-America Team Features Guards Mark Sears and RJ Davis as Headliners
Alabama's Mark Sears and North Carolina's RJ Davis were the top vote-getters for the Associated Press preseason All-America team, which this year consists of six players from three different conferences.
Duke's Cooper Flagg and Arizona's Caleb Love tied for a spot on the six-man team, joined by Kansas' Hunter Dickinson and Auburn's Johni Broome.
The First Team is made up entirely of players from the ACC, Big 12, and SEC.
Sears received all but one vote for a unanimous selection, while Davis received 51 votes. Both players tested the NBA waters before deciding to return to college.
Sears led Alabama to the Final Four last season and the team is currently ranked No. 2 in the preseason rankings for 2024-25.
"I wanted to be a part of this team and help bring Alabama its first national championship in basketball," Sears said.
Davis was named the ACC Player of the Year in 2023-24 and was also selected as an AP All-American.
Flagg, the top recruit in the Class of 2024-25, is the only underclassman on the team. He is also projected to be the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft.
