As an annual participant in two separate All-ACC votes, those of the Atlantic Coast Sports Media Association (the official version) and the ACC Sports Journal/ACCSports.com, I have until 9 p.m. Sunday to submit my ballots. Included with my "preliminary" selections are some season statistics (detailed below) I gathered as part of my voting process. I encourage your feedback and suggestions in the "Comments" section at the bottom.

ACC Coach Of The Year

Dave Leitao, Virginia

Comment: If Virginia beats Wake Forest on Saturday, making the Cavaliers 12-4 in the ACC and earning UVa its first regular-season conference championship since 1995 and its first without ties since 1981, Leitao is the only reasonable choice here. Depending on the results of this weekend's games, though, Al Skinner (Boston College), Gary Williams (Maryland) and Seth Greenberg (Virginia Tech) also could become viable candidates.

Player Of The Year

Jared Dudley, Sr., Boston College

Comment: You could make a logical case for as many as six ACC players this season, but Dudley does more positive things for his team than anyone else. He scores inside, scores outside, rebounds, passes, defends, shoots efficiently, plays aggressively, shows positive emotion, displays versatility, leads his younger teammates and embraces clutch situations, all while playing virtually every minute of every close game.

First-Team All-ACC

Jared Dudley, Sr., Boston College
(19.6 ppg, 8.6 rpg, 3.0 apg, 76-66 A-TO, 58.1% FG, 48.0% threes, 74.4% FT, 38.2 mpg)

Al Thornton, Sr., Florida State
(19.3 ppg, 7.3 rpg, 0.7 apg, 20-66 A-TO, 51.8% FG, 42.9% threes, 81.3% FT, 30 blocks, 37 steals, 31.2 mpg)

Zabian Dowdell, Sr., Virginia Tech
(18.1 ppg, 3.6 rpg, 3.3 apg, 95-49 A-TO, 47.4% FG, 40.4% threes, 82.4% FT, 62 steals, 33.4 mpg)

Tyler Hansbrough, So., North Carolina
(18.6 ppg, 7.7 rpg, 1.2 apg, 35-58 A-TO, 53.2% FG, 76.4% FT, 34 steals, 29.4 mpg)

Sean Singletary, Jr., Virginia
(18.5 ppg, 4.4 rpg, 4.7 apg, 132-88 A-TO, 39.9% FG, 39.9% threes, 89.3% FT, 36 steals, 32.9 mpg)

Comment: Including Virginia guard J.R. Reynolds, there are six players for five spots. When you take into consideration statistics, offense, defense and leadership, nobody else can make a logical argument. Period.

Second-Team All-ACC

J.R. Reynolds, Sr., Virginia
(18.3 ppg, 4.2 rpg, 3.9 apg, 109-84 A-TO, 43.4% FG, 37.1% threes, 81.8% FT, 32.1 mpg)

Tyrese Rice, So., Boston College
(17.0 ppg, 3.3 rpg, 5.6 apg, 158-92 A-TO, 45.7% FG, 30.4% threes, 78.7% FT, 35 steals, 35.9 mpg)

Josh McRoberts, So., Duke
(12.7 ppg, 7.7 rpg, 3.5 apg, 106-68 A-TO, 49.8% FG, 66.9% FT, 37 steals, 76 blocks, 35.1 mpg)

Javaris Crittenton, Fr., Georgia Tech
(14.5 ppg, 3.8 rpg, 5.6 apg, 162-111 A-TO, 45.0% FG, 38.3% threes, 78.5% FT, 60 steals, 30.9 mpg)

Third-Team All-ACC

Ben McCauley, So., N.C. State
(15.1 ppg, 6.5 rpg, 3.3 apg, 93-63 A-TO, 59.5% FG, 65.5% FT, 28 steals, 34.8 mpg)

Brandan Wright, Fr., North Carolina
(15.1 ppg, 6.4 rpg, 31-46 A-TO, 65.6% FG, 55.1% FT, 48 blocks, 26.8 mpg)

Comment: Still considering Sean Marshall of BC, James Mays of Clemson, DeMarcus Nelson of Duke, James Gist of Maryland, Brandon Costner of N.C. State, Jamon Gordon of Virginia Tech, Kyle Visser of Wake Forest and possibly others. Any suggestions?

Freshman Of The Year

Javaris Crittenton, Georgia Tech

Comment: This is another close call. You could make a decent case for at least four members of the all-rookie team.

All-Freshman Team

Javaris Crittenton, Georgia Tech
(14.5 ppg, 3.8 rpg, 5.6 apg, 162-111 A-TO, 45.0% FG, 38.3% threes, 78.5% FT, 60 steals, 30.9 mpg)

Brandan Wright, North Carolina

(16.2 ppg, 7.6 rpg, 1.8 apg, 50-89 A-TO, 47.2% FG, 37.7% threes, 70.4% FT, 34.3 mpg)

Ty Lawson, North Carolina
(9.9 ppg, 2.8 rpg, 5.4 apg, 163-69 A-TO, 52.2% FG, 37.9% threes, 65.5% FT, 46 steals, 24.2 mpg)

Comment: Still considering Trevor Booker of Clemson, Jon Scheyer of Duke, Thaddeus Young of Georgia Tech, Greivis Vasquez of Maryland and Wayne Ellington of UNC. Thoughts?

All-Defensive Team

Jamon Gordon, Sr., Virginia Tech
D.J. Strawberry, Sr., Maryland
James Mays, Jr., Clemson
???

Comment: Still considering a lot of players. It's not a season of great individual defenders in the ACC, so thoughtful input is especially appreciated here.
