DURHAM, N.C. -- Duke freshman Vernon Carey Jr., has been named a second-team All-America selection by Sporting News magazine, as the publication announced its annual men's college basketball awards.
Carey, who was named the ACC Freshman of the Year, the USBWA District III Player of the Year and a second-team All-American by Sports Illustrated and the CBS Sports Freshman of the Year, was the only player ranked in the ACC's top 10 in scoring (third, 17.8), rebounding (fourth, 8.8), field goal percentage (first, .577) and blocked shots (sixth, 1.6). The Miami, Fla., native posted 15 double-doubles on the season, which ranked second among NCAA freshmen and second in the ACC. Ten of his double-doubles were 20-10 performances, while 14 came as 15-10 games. Carey was second nationally among freshmen in scoring, third in field goal percentage and fourth in rebounds.
The Miami, Fla., native is a finalist for the Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Center of the Year Award.
Duke ended its regular season with a 26-5 overall record and 15-5 mark in the ACC.
