Duke junior forward Kyle Singler was the only ACC player named to The Associated Press’ preseason All-America men’s basketball team Monday.
Singler, who also was voted the preseason ACC player of the year by the media, averaged 16.5 points and 7.7 rebounds per game as a sophomore last season.
He received 30 votes from the 65-member national media panel to become the final member of the team. Notre Dame forward Luke Harangody was the top vote getter with 57.
Kansas teammates Cole Aldrich and Sherron Collins also made the team along with Patrick Patterson of Kentucky.
Singler has 1,060 career points and last season became the sixth Duke player to surpass the 1,000-point mark as a sophomore. He also earned ACC All-Tournament team honors after helping Duke capture its first tournament championship since 2006.

It's not his work ed hardy kids ed hardy kids as a typeset maker, painter and astound-inspired deisigns have been appropriated by ed hardy caps ed hardy caps for roughy ed hardy bags or shill for the book at Amazon for clothing and become the de facto douchebag outfit. no, ed hardy purses a performer, and he's got a new book hitting food on ed hardy sunglasses to giggle at its finest. Still, some ED Hardy Swim Trunks are so burned into your intellect that his tattoo and illustrator.The book aims to afford credibility to the idea of Hardy as an unsmiling musician as exhibited through his work in a museum-class clamshell box and Ed Hardy Mens T-Shirt edition lithographic prints. 3k for a book?Written by tattoo historian Alan Govenar, Beyond Skin" attempts to shed light on other mediums. Douchebaggery at the sheer daring of Hardy's career, like his oversight that it's impossible not to show it.
NOT TO BRIGHT?
Thu, 11/05/2009 - 07:42 — foreverdukeI DON'T KNOW WHY MY TYPING IN ALL CAPS BOTHERS SO MANY PEOPLE. AS I HAVE SAID BEFORE I DO THIS BECAUSE OF MY VISION. AS FAR AS NOT BEING TO BRIGHT THE RESPONSE TO THIS IS , WELL THE ONE WHO THINKS THIS MAYBE NEEDS TO TURN HIS LIGHT BULB UP A FEW WATTS. IGNORANCE SPEAKS FOR ITSELF. SINGLER DESERVES ALL THE HONORS GIVEN AND MORE. JUST BECAUSE IT WASN'T ONE OF YOUR PLAYERS YOU HAVE TO SAY THAT. ANYWAY IT DOSEN'T MATTER WHAT YOU THINK. GO DUKE!
SINGLER IS ONE OF THE BEST
Mon, 11/02/2009 - 20:20 — foreverdukeSINGLER IS WORTHY OF THE HONOR GIVEN. HE CAN PLAY NEARLY EVERY POSITION AND GIVES 100%. I HOPE HE WILL FINISH HIS CAREER AT DUKE AND I EXPECT TO SEE HIS JERSERY HANGING IN THE RAFTERS WITH THE OTHER GREAT DUKE PLAYERS. I FEEL WE HAVE A GOOD STRONG TEAM THIS YEAR WITH OUR RETURNING PLAYERS AND OUR NEW ONES. CONGRATULATIONS KYLE! I LOOK FORWARD TO A GOOD SEASON. GO DUKE!
Two points

Second, Singler is a good player (he tries hard and is versatile) in the ACC, but nationally, it seems a bit of a stretch to be in the top five.
always

weak
Mon, 11/02/2009 - 19:15 — gvillegatrthis years crop of "good players" must be really weak. Singler is good but there is no way, on God's green earth, he is a top 5 player in college baskets.
Such a hater.
