Stauskas Named First Team All-American by NABC

The National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) has named Nik Stauskas a first-team All-American. This follows his being named second-team All-American by the Sporting News and being shut out of the USBWA All-America teams. He now has a very good chance of gaining second-team consensus All-American status, with just the AP left to name their choices (out of the four All-American honors used by the NCAA to determine consensus first- and second-team All-Americans).

Here's a rundown of Stauskas's postseason honors from the Michigan press release on this:

Nik Stauskas' 2013-14 Postseason Honors
• NABC All-America, first team
• Sporting News All-America, second team
• USA Today All-America, third team
• Big Ten Player of the Year
» Big Ten Coaches
» Big Ten Media
» Collegehoopsdaily.com

• All-Big Ten, first team
» Big Ten Coaches (only unanimous selection)

• USBWA District V Player of the Year

• NABC All-District, first team

Corrected consensus All-American info: The consensus picks are determined by assigning 3 points for first team, 2 for second, and 1 for third (if there is one). The top five plus ties are named consensus first team; the next five plus ties are second team. Here's what the standings look like, with the AP picks still to come:

9 - Nick Johnson, Arizona

9 - Doug McDermott, Creighton

9 - Jabari Parker, Duke

8 - Shabazz Napier, UConn

8 - Russ Smith, Louisville

-------------------------------------------

7 - Sean Kilpatrick, Cincinnati

6 - Andrew Wiggins, Kansas

5 - Nik Stauskas, Michigan

4 - Cleanthony Early, Wichita State

4 - C.J. Fair, Syracuse

--------------------------------------------

3 - T.J. Warren, North Carolina State

2 - Melvin Ejim, Iowa State

2 - Marcus Paige, North Carolina

2 - Fred VanVleet, Wichita State

2 - Scottie Wilbekin, Florida

It appears that the only way that Stauskas would not be a consensus second-team All-American would be for Early, Fair, and Warren all to pass him, which seems highly unlikely as Warren would have to be named first team by the AP.
