Deandre Ayton named AP All-American
UpdatedBy Justin Spears / Arizona Daily Star
The individual accolades for Arizona star freshman Deandre Ayton continue to pile up as he was named an Associated Press first-team All-American on Tuesday.
Ayton joined Devonte Graham (Kansas), Jalen Brunson (Villanova), Trae Young (Oklahoma) and Marvin Bagley III (Duke). It's the first time in college basketball history that three freshmen made the list
Ayton became the first player under Sean Miller at Arizona to be named a first-team All-American by AP and the first Wildcat to achieve the accomplishment since Jason Terry in 1999.
There's no doubt Ayton will go down as one of the best to put on an Arizona uniform, but how does he compare to the other All-Americans that played at Arizona? Check out Ayton's company with their per-game stats for that season and which team they placed in:
