KANSAS CITY, Mo. – For the third consecutive season, De'Mon Brooks of the Davidson men's basketball team has been named to the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) All-District Team, as announced Wednesday.
The senior forward is now eligible for the NABC All-America Team, which will be announced at a later date.
A two-time conference player of the year and SoCon Tournament MVP, Brooks leads the Wildcats in scoring (18.7 ppg) and rebounding (7.1 rpg), while shooting 59 percent from the floor and 46.7 percent from behind the 3-point line. In league play, the three-time first-team selection led the conference in scoring (20.5) and field-goal percentage (65.7), while averaging 7.6 rebounds, good for seventh best.
Brooks, who has hit double figures in 24 of 26 contests, including the 20-point plateau 12 times, joins Fred Hetzel (1963-65), Mike Maloy (1969, 1970), Stephen Curry (2008, 2009) and Jake Cohen (2012, 2013) as the only Wildcats to earn multiple conference player-of-the-year honors.
Davidson (20-12), which has won 13 of its last 14 contests, will play in the postseason NIT by virtue of its regular season crown.
