Johnson and Virginia senior forward Malcolm Brogdon were both unanimous choices to the first team. Brogdon was also named ACC Player of the Year.

Johnson and Brogdon were joined on the first team by NC State guard Cat Baber, Duke sophomore Grayson Allen and Clemson junior Jaron Blossomgame.

UNC forward Isaiah Hicks won the ACC’s Sixth Man of the Year Award. The junior from Oxford is averaging 9.2 points and 4.5 rebounds per game.
