Zach Edey, Dalton Knecht headline AP men’s college basketball All-America teams

For the second straight year, Purdue’s Zach Edey is the unanimous headliner for The Associated Press men’s college basketball All-America team.

The 7-foot-4, 300-pound senior topped all 62 ballots from AP Top 25 poll voters in results released Tuesday. The reigning AP National Player of the Year claimed all 58 votes last year.

Tennessee’s Dalton Knecht and North Carolina’s RJ Davis joined Edey (310 points) in a clear top trio. Knecht (298) was a first-team pick on 56 ballots, Davis (296) on 55 and both appeared among the top-10 players on every ballot.

Houston’s Jamal Shead and Tristen Newton of reigning NCAA champion Connecticut rounded out the first team.
