Smart A Unanimous Selection To AP Preseason All-American Team

Marcus Smart is the only unanimous selection to the Associated Press' Preseason All-American Team the AP announced today. The 6-foot-4 point guard is the first unanimous selection since Ohio State's Jared Sullinger in 2011-12. The team is chosen by a 65-member media panel.

Smart averaged 15.4 points, 5.8 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 3.0 steals as a freshman last year. He was the Big 12 Player of the Year and won the Wayman Tisdale Award as the nation's top freshman.

Smart is joined on the Preseason All-American team by Doug McDermott (F, Creighton), Russ Smith (G, Louisville), Mitch McGary (C, Michigan) and Andrew Wiggins (F, Kansas).
