The ACC announced their postseason basketball awards, and two Clemson players were named to the All-Conference Team. Graduate forward Hunter Tyson was selected for the first team, and junior forward PJ Hall was named to the third team.
Tyson also received four points in voting for the ACC Player of the Year. That honor went to Miami guard Isiah Wong. The Coach of the Year award went to Jeff Capel of Pitt with Clemson’s Brad Brownell finishing third in the voting with six points.
This marks Tyson’s first career All-ACC honor. Tyson is having a career year this season. He is averaging a team-best 15.7 points and 9.5 rebounds per game while shooting 48.6 percent from the floor, 41.3 percent from three and 83.8 percent at the free throw line. In league play, he’s been even better. He averaged 16.4 points and 9.9 rebounds while shooting 50.5 percent and 84.3 percent at the charity stripe.
Hall spent most of the first half of the season getting back going after undergoing two offseason surgeries but has since returned to the All-ACC form that Clemson fans are accustomed to.
Hall is team’s second-leading scorer (15.5) and second-leading rebounder (5.6) this season. In ACC play he leads the team in scoring (17.6) and is second in rebounds (6.6). Hall is shooting 54.0 percent from the floor in league games, including 38.6 from three and 83.3 at the line.
