If I may ask, do you vote for an AP all-American team?

Those are my picks for it.

My only argument would be for Horford over Noah. While Noah gets the accolades, it always seems to me that Horford is the more critical component. Obviously, both deserve mention, but I think I actually agree with Vitale's appraisal of the two.

Disagree with the lower level picks. I think you have to find some room somewhere for Georgetown's Jeff Green or Roy Hibbert. I believe this is only for the regular season, but did you see what the two beasts from the east did to Gray in the tourney? Gray was something like 1-11 from the field. Plus, Green was named Big East POY and has played amazingly over the last two months

I like your picks, especially the First Team, Player of the Year and Coach of the Year. It will be a shame if Tony Bennett does not get the honor. Does AP not award a Freshman of the Year?
