What a year it's been for Cameron Johnson.
Not only has the graduate guard had his best collegiate season to date for the North Carolina men's basketball team, but on Monday afternoon he was named to the All-ACC firs team.
In his second season in Chapel Hill, Johnson is averaging a team-high 16.8 points per game and has set career-bests in rebounds (5.9), steals (1.3), field goal percentage (51.1 percent) and made 3-pointers (83). In addition to being named first-team All-ACC, Johnson finished third in the ACC Most Improved Player voting.
Johnson, who leads the ACC in 3-point percentage (46.9 percent), was not the only UNC player earning accolades for his performance this season.
First-year guard Coby White and senior forward Luke Maye each were named to the All-ACC second team. White also finished third for ACC Rookie of the Year and received the second most votes for the ACC All-Freshman Team. Maye's 221 votes were the most by any player on the second team.
White ranks second on the team at 16.3 points per game and became the first UNC first-year in program history to score 30 or more points three times. He scored 33 each in a loss to Texas and a win over Miami and dropped 34 in a victory over Syracuse. He averages a team-high 4.1 assists per game and has connected on 75 3-pointers this season.
Maye, who was picked as the Preseason ACC Player of the Year, averages 14.6 points per game. His 10.5 rebounds per game rank second in the conference behind Notre Dame's John Mooney.
