Clemson guard Marcquise Reed led the ACC in steals and finished third in the league in scoring.
CLEMSON – Brad Brownell's "play-all-day guy" earned at least some measure of respect on Monday when Clemson basketball standout Marcquise Reed was named third-team All-Atlantic Coast Conference.
Reed, a graduate guard, earned second-team honors last season. This season he ranked third in the league in scoring with a 19.4 average and led the ACC in steals (2.3) and free throw percentage (.849).
Zion Williamson, a Duke freshman from Spartanburg, was named ACC Player of the Year and headlined the first-team All-ACC selections, which also included teammate R.J. Barrett, North Carolina's Cameron Johnson and Virginia's Kyle Guy and De'Andre Hunter.
Voting was conducted by a selection panel including the league's 15 head coaches and 55 members of the media.
Reed, a 6-foot-3, 188-pounder from Landover, Maryland, also averaged 5.6 rebounds per game in helping Clemson to a 19-12 overall record and 9-9 league mark this season.
The Tigers, who are bidding for a second straight NCAA Tournament berth after winning 25 games and reaching the Sweet 16 a year ago, will face N.C. State in the first round of the ACC Tournament on Wednesday in Charlotte.
Reed also shared the team lead with an average of 3.0 assists per game and ranked seventh in the ACC in minutes played per game with 35.1.
Clemson also was represented on the league's All-Defensive Team.
Senior forward Elijah Thomas ranked second in the ACC with 68 blocked shots and also was second in field goal percentage at 62.0 percent, trailing only Duke's Williamson.
Thomas was fifth in the league in rebounding with an 8.0 average and had a career-best 13.2 scoring average. The 6-9, 245-pound Dallas, Texas, native posted nine double-doubles this season.
All-ACC second-team picks included North Carolina's Luke Maye and Coby White, Boston College's Ky Bowman, Virginia's Ty Jerome and Virginia Tech's Kerry Blackshear.
Joining Reed on the third team were Louisville's Jordan Nwora, Syracuse's Tyus Battle, Virginia Tech's Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Notre Dame's John Mooney.
Virginia's Tony Bennett was named Coach of the Year while Williamson was named the league's Rookie of the Year.
