Tre Jones named ACC POY

And tell me again why any top recruit wouldn't want to be a part of this lol. Just keep racking up the league player of the year awards and more haters right with it. Love it.

I know he’s likely gone next year and if so it is more than deserved but we all know how much Tre loves Duke and wants to leave a legacy. He is probably the last guy since Grayson that has any sort of shot of having his Jersey retired if we were to win a NC and he were to come back one more year and try to graduate. Wishful thinking I know...

If Tre stays he could reach Bobby Hurley level status. He is an incredible point guard.

Article said Tre is just the second player to win ACC POY and DPOY in same season (Malcolm Brogdon was the other). That is surprising. I would have assumed someone like Battier, who was the national defensive player of the year 3 times and won every single national POY award in 2001, would have been on this list

JWill or Juan Dixon won ACC POY in 2001. I think Dixon won ACC and J Will won NPOY

I don't think they had defensive player of the year until after Battier graduated. He surely would have won it if it existed. I do remember that he shared the 2001 ACC POY with Joe Forte, which was a poor decision by the voters.

Battier won National DPOY 3 times.
