KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Wake Forest men's basketball guard and Atlantic Coast Conference Player of the Year Alondes Williams has been selected to the National Association of Basketball Coaches District Two All-District Team, as announced by the organization Tuesday. Williams was also one of two unanimous selections to the Associated Press All-ACC First Team.
After reeling in back-to-back ACC Player of the Week honors, Williams was named the U.S. Basketball Writers Association Oscar Robertson National Player of the Week on December 21. Williams was the first Wake Forest player in program history to receive the honor (since it was first awarded in the 2009-10 season) and the first ACC player since January 31, 2021.
In February, he was named to the Midseason Team for 2022 Jersey Mike's Naismith Trophy Player of the Year, along with three other ACC players. He was also one of five ACC players named to the Midseason Lute Olson National Player of the Year Award Watch List in January.
Williams became the first Wake Forest player over the past 25 seasons to record at least 30 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists in a game as he recorded 34 points on 15 makes, eight rebounds and seven assists against Charlotte.
The 34-point outing against Charlotte was the third for the transfer guard and second-consecutive after scoring 36 against VMI the week prior. He became the first Wake Forest player to log back-to-back 30-point games since former All-American Jeff Teague. Williams also scored 32 points against Western Carolina Nov. 12, becoming the first Demon Deacon to have three 30+ point games in a season since Jeff Teague in 08-09. Additionally, Williams recorded 16 points, 14 rebounds, and 10 assists against USC Upstate Dec. 11 for the Deacs' first triple-double since Tim Duncan (14 points, 15 rebounds, and 10 blocks) against Maryland on January 13, 1996.
In just one season with Coach Forbes and the Demon Deacons, Williams has more than doubled his scoring from two seasons at Oklahoma.
2019-20 (Oklahoma): 187
2020-21 (Oklahoma): 160
2021-22 (Wake Forest): 615
Williams is also on track to be the first player in the history of the Atlantic Coast Conference to lead the league in both scoring and assists at the conclusion of the season.
